    Cost of a metal box to hold a large home generator.

    ISO containers are 10', 20', 30' and 40'. If the genny has wheels, it's considered a portable generator and has the CO sensor

    Cost of a metal box to hold a large home generator.

    If it's a whole house genny, it comes in the sound attenuated enclosure. The radiator fan will keep air moving past the radiator and muffler If you build one, you need to keep air flow thru the most as the CO monitor will shut it down in a box. It will also overheat

    7.4 /454 Gen VI identification

    The compression ratio needs to be seriously looked at for a marine build. Forged internals generally not needed unless running WOT for a really long time. A full neutral balance rotating assembly will do more to keep the motor together

    Another MPI fogging question

    the fuel pumps simply suck in the fuel and air. there may be a momentary (undetectable) lean fire of a single cylinder or two. however dont over-think it. Now if you do not get a good connection when re-connecting it up and the pump constantly draws in air. that is another issue.

    Engine size for Wooden Boat?

    yes, the IMO has formula to determine max hp. CFR 33.183 mirrors the IMO rules. since the boat is a tiller and not a console steer, and is not a flat bottom boat the formula in your case would be (Transom Width x Length at water line x 0.8 ) - 25 estimating your transom at 4 ft. your length...
