Default How can I increase the power of my 1990 OMC 4.3L engine?

If you consider a full rebuild with some performance work such as high
compression pistons, higher torque cam, 4-bbl carb, minor milling of the
head/valve areas, etc you will have a more powerful engine without
sacrificing reliability. Also consider the strength of your outdrive and a
need to re-prop.

You can, but I assure you that you really do not want to do that. It is
far better to adapt a more powerful and fuel efficient engine. It is much
less expensive.

Is it possible?

My engine is not a real "marine" engine but comes from a car.


I've a 2 BBL stock Rochester carb and a Ignitor (ignition conversion
kit).


Is there someone who could help me?


Thanks in advance and greetings from Belgium
