Re: OMC Engine Swap

What year is the engine/boat? I have a feeling it's either a GM or Ford I4.

That would be a General Motors 3.0L, year 1990.<br />140 HP, 4 cylinder. Where is Southend-on-sea? Sounds intriguing?

Ho Roger; My wife and I have been contemplating a trip to Europe and have somewhat settled on a Rhine River tour of castles, Germany, obviously. I suspected you were in Great Britain and your location sounded romantic. I'm going to look it up on the map and see what I can find out. Yes, that engine is used quite a bit in the commercial venue and is somewhat popular in marine applications, being a workhorse. I think you're correct in going the way of a diesel and one can be surprised with the RPM's available. If I can help you locate parts, blocks, anything else, my e-mail address is bhamil2345@cox.net. Please don't hesitate to write.

Re: OMC Engine Swap

I have an answer for you; I'm also going to e-mail this info to you.<br />2.5L Water-Intercooled Turbo (WLT) like the one in the Everest, is manufactured by Detroit Diesel's subsidiary "Motori" <br />in Cento, Italy. 4 cylinder, in-line 16 valve, electronic fuel injection. Turbocharged, intercooled. 145 HP at 2000RPM<br />and peak torque of 251 ft. lbs., at 1800 RPM. Cast iron block with one-piece aluminum head. 21" long, 25" wide and 27" <br />high. 485 LBS. Purely automotive and the low RPM's wouldn't give much speed but it sounds like a durable engine.<br /><br />3.0L GM engine, for marine use; in-line 4 cylinder 145 HP, 181CID 4300-4600 RPM, direct replacement for 2.5L gas engine and 3.0L gas. approximately 500 LBS.
