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 |

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. Steve wrote in message ... Is it possible? My engine is not a real "marine" engine but comes from a car.

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. "Steve Lusardi" wrote in message ... You can, but I assure you that you really do not want to do that.
