With packaging, I'll bet that engine is close to 1000 pounds. |

I'll bet that "packaging" (steel skid plus heavy cardboard box plus inner packing materials) brings the weight up to close to 1,000 pounds. Whoops...already posted that! |

Harry, Oh I thought you said "I'll bet that engine is close to 1000 pounds". I didn't know you said "I'll bet that engine, skid and packaging is close to 1000 lbs. I stand corrected. |

There was a taurus with a V-8 or are you saying the taurus had a v-6 and yamaha just added two cylinders? I wouldn't mind a new taurus (aka ford 500) with a v-8. Nice car. |

The largest Yamaha engine that ford used apparently was a 4.4 liter...the new Yamaha outboard displaces 5.3 liters. The new engine might be an evolutionary child of the ford, but I doubt it is the "same" engine, punched out. |

It's stroke was lengthed and they changed the head and piston geometry. The 4.4 was really a 4.6 anyway depending on how you computed the volume which was how they got around a California requirement for higher horsepower cars. Hey - that's what I was told - it's basically the same engine tweaked for the marine market. I've been wrong before, I'll be wrong again. |
