hey guys. now, i know this might not be totally related, but it IS an engine. Now it may simply be my ignorance getting the best of me, but, my friend is building a Bomber class stock car for an oval track. Monte Carlo, 350, blah blah blah.

however. he insists that because an engine is for marine purposes, it is totally different from a normal car engine.

umm...k?
Will says:
sam everything is diff on a marine
Will says:
cause they use the water to cool it
Will says:
the intakes are bigger
Will says:
the valves are diff
Will says:
look it up on ebay and see the differences
Will says:
its cause they can keep it alot cooler
Will says:
cold water all the time
Will says:
the intake manifold was even better, more like a tunnel ram, but im not allowed to run that intake, its against the track rules

and. i will use the liberty to post what my friend said. his name is Will, btw.

now. call me stupid. or ignorant. but...wtf?

it all started by saying that a marine carb flows more than a normal carb.


can someone PLEASE answer me this? lol

thanks guys.

Yes, marine engines are different. Also more costly. Google "crate engines" and compare prices.
