    Marine engines are wired different and programmed different than their automotive counterparts A good example is the same MEFI ECM used by GM as a crate motor, Mercruiser for a marine engine ECM, and Volvo Penta for a marine engine ECM.

    Can anyone identify the type of boat in this painting?

    Trying to identify a fictional boat in a painting where the author may or may not have taken artistic license is going to be difficult. Sort of like trying to identify the muse of Picasso from his paintings....

    Fuel injected parts no longer available

    For Ford marine motors of the 90s, switching the NLA EFI and ignition bits for a carb and Malory ignition is common for keeping the motor alive. There are adapters for using the GM exhaust manifolds on some of the ford motors. In other cases, the exhaust manifolds are NLA. Check parts...

    OMC vs Volvo drives

    Because the EFI bits for Ford Marine motors are NLA. The marine specific bits are NLA. That means no support Do not confuse lack of support from NLA parts from owner abuse and improper winterization leading to water in oil Plus over 90% of the marine I/O motors in operation today are GM...

    Alkylate fuel?

    its the stuff they sell at the local box stores for emergency fuel. however at $24/gallon vs $3/gallon. its not like its flying off the shelves. its just fuel refined from natural gas vapors. it has the same BTU per gallon as standard dino squeezings. its just more expensive

    Engine choice

    that drive will only match the ford 2.3 liter. the gears are too small for anything larger than a 3.0 liter. I would not ever ever ever consider a cobra drive from behind a 2.3 unless I needed a different drive for a 2.3 find a good mercruiser 5.7 or larger with an alpha or bravo and swap or...

    Did you ever wonder?

    I agree its a bit rude. however all the forums I belong to are full of one-hit-wonders. I myself have less than 50 hits on a few forums, mainly because that project/vehicle/toy/etc was sold. most likely they fall into one of 5 categories They are young people with their cell phones and the...

    Cybertruck

    Here is my take...... the skin is low-grade 300 series stainless. most likely 302 or 304 (they just call it 300 series). bird droppings and falling leaves will leave staining just like DMC did on the delorean when they were launched with 304 and later switched to 316. Tesla is NOT using 316L...

    Trailer tongue hinge

    Having owned factory folding tongues on various trailers, and looking at the retrofit tongues from companies like fulton with the small fasteners, or the weld-on version. I would replace the entire beam on the trailer with 3x3 or sleeve the 2.5 x 2.5 to get it up to 3.0 and use the weld-on kit...
