A blower wont fit under a flat engine hatch, but if you put a scoop on the boat, it will. Mine didnt have a swim deck, so I dont know about that. Sound like YOU didnt do any research before you bought this engine! You should have the guy you bought it from post the engine specs and the list of parts used to build it. THEN, it will sell.
Im not mad, just dont like idiots mouthing off. the motor has forged pistons (flat top) solid lifter cam(flat tapet dont know the specs), gm steel crank, dimple rods, crane roller rockers, alum heads, not markings to indicate the brand( they do have freeze plugs on the ends) cant be sure so I wont lie. dont know the brand of oil in the motor, paint is black probly crylon cant be sure. Bearings show no wear. Now that you have for no reason tried to discredit me for what ever reason I hope this makes you sleep better. The motor would not clear the engine cover and don like the scoop look. Now if you can add, you know this is a good deal. Stock big blocks go for 4-5 k just see it for what it is. YOU WILL NOT SET ANY WORLD RECORDS BUT YOU WILL HAUL ASS.

Dont bother, he cant even spell Krylon(or DYNO for that matter), and if they couldnt tell that the blower wouldnt clear before they bought the engine, a tape measure would have given them that info. Not trying to discredit anyone, but without knowing him, it is hard to even consider parting with the $$, even though I do agree it is a good price if it is what it is supposed to be, but we have no idea of what it is supposed to be, I could put some krylon and a blower on that tool from the other engine threads motor and tell everone that it is a 650 Surely he must have a build sheet, dyno sheet, or at least some receipts??

You guys need to lay off this guy. This seems like a great buy on a motor that he has some knowledge about, he also seems like a stand up guy and someone I would like to do business with.

Maybe,

But this started out having fun with the 26' Cig comment, and keeping his ad at the top, 'til he said this

"You two A holes need to find another hobby. We bought this motor to put in a 22ft donzi and we could not make it clear the swim deck. The man we got it from said 82 mph in his 26 cig. Now do you get the picture. This is a good engine for a good price. Im not trying to impress either one of you guys as a mater of fact I don't care what you think. Its a good deal and if you don't want it quit yappin. Thanks......Mark"

Sorry, if he thinks we are "A holes " for trying to help him, then I am going to be an A-Hole!!!

Ok I need to work on my spelling. But I don't think what you and kreed are doing is helping me at all. You have over 5100 post in seven years, I can see you have helped alot of people like me. I think I can do without anymore of you guys help. Thanks Frank for the kind words, its nice to know someone can get my message.
