doesnt one engine in a dual engine boat run in reverse, crank goes opposite direction of the other as in counter rotating? at 300 hp this must be a seriously detuned motor for boat usage vs car. assuming water cooled, is it an older design that is not an enclosed system, ie, runs water from the outside thru the engine vs a closed system with a radiator and
antifreeze ? if so, then if salt water the block internals could be seriously encrusted with marine growth etc. i am not into power boats, just sail boats,,,,but makes me wonder how this engine could really be used in a car unless it undergoes a serious rebuild. only common denominator might be the 427 displacement of a motor not intended for car use unless a work horse truck perhaps. any engine experts or power boaters out there to enlighten me ? bill.
