For sale is a very nice complete running marine engine.  This engine was removed from a 1982 boat that had suffered stringer and floor rot.  The engine has  good cylinder compression readings that vary less than 15 % between cylinders   I ran the engine on the test stand for over an hour. 

There are a few issues that would need to be addressed: 

The flywheel will need to be replaced, or swapped from a similar engine, due to a series of starter drive teeth being damaged. (ring gear).  The Mercruiser part number is 251-7714 A1, 251-9741 A2, or equivalent.  I have not researched the possibility of only the ring gear being replaced.

The heat exchanger ( this is a 3" type ) endcaps leak sea water.  It appears that there is some expansion present near the end caps.  This heat exchanger may be able to be put back into service.  The anti-freeze side of the heat exchanger appears to be sealed and intact.

The battery charging system does not seem to be working.  I suspect the regulator needs replacing, or an aftermarket alternator kit may be fitted.

The engine ran very well on the test stand.  If someone were looking to replace a similar engine, then transferring the necessary parts to this engine could be very cost effective.


There was no hour meter installed on the boat.

 Oil pressure, engine temperature, were verified within specifications.

The engine will be sold as shown. 

I will work with buyer to accommodate long range shipping requirements.  Pickup at out location is also an option

There may be an additional charge from Freightquote if the engine needs to be delivered at a residential address without a loading dock.

I have many other marine engines available, as well as a warehouse that stocks many other marine components:  Drives, transoms, engine parts, controls, etc.

VW take control at Italdesign Giugiaro through Lamborghini.

Tue, 25 May 2010

Maserati Merak - by Giugiaro Perhaps it makes sense politically for an Italian company to takeover another, but the outcome is the same – VW has taken a majority stake in Italdesign Giugiaro – 90.1% – through its Italian subsidiary Lamborghini Holdings S.p.A. Just as we expected. And there’s a lot of sense in this move by VW – even if they are going back on their stated intent to end the acquisitions – as there’s a strong history with Giugiaro.

Before being delivered to its owner, the 10,000th Gallardo will be displayed in Shanghai during Lamborghini Day on June 25. “Production of car number 10,000 is a very important milestone for Lamborghini,” said Stephan Winkelmann, president and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.

Mystery Porsche prototype destroyed in fire near Stuttgart

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

According to the Porsche-lovers at flatsixes.com, an unknown Porsche prototype caught fire after being taken home by an employee earlier this week. It reportedly took 19 firefighters to extinguish the blaze, which occurred in a home garage in Ludwigsburg, Germany (a city located near Porsche's home in Stuttgart). Fortunately, the employee and his wife suffered only minor injuries, but we assume the prototype is a complete loss.
