Question Could this be modified to be put in a car?

http://www.pfaffengines.com/850sc.shtml

What do you all think? I think it would be baddass, I know it wouldnt fit in a forth gen. But I was asking just in general. I mean would it be that hard to modify a marine engine for street use?

It would be fine, except you would need to remove the water cooled exhaust manifolds, and get a smaller oil pan. That is set up for a marine application.

I understand its set up for a boat, but with smaller oil pan and headers you think it would fit in an automobile? I am not considering this, I just wanted thoughts and opinions. Thanks

So essentially any marine engine could fit into a car? LOL, I know I keep asking but I have gotten the run around on this question several times.

it's still just a standard aftermarket block with all the same mounting holes for all your accesories, headers, trans, motor mounts, etc. it would likely look as silly as the black firebird a few posts down with the big blower through the hood. like mentioned before, just some minor mods and it's in. starting with that 12qt. pan!!!

now that you've been told 3 times by 3 people, are you going to ask again???

later,
Dave

Nope, gotcha Dave . But if I was going to do one like this it would most likely be put in something like a mid-80's Monte

You can make ~800hp with less cubes pump gas n/a with the bbc so why bother with the blower at all?

I am not actually doing a motor like this, I just wanted everyones thoughts and opinions about putting a marine engine in a car. I was also curious if it could be done. And I finally got my answer

i'd fit in anything with abit of creative thinking...once the marine exhaust are gone, its just a motor...if the block doesnt have the provisions cast in for stock mounting...put a motor/tranny plate setup on it...thats way cool and super easy

and PrayHrd...whats silly bout a blower stickin out the hood...IMO, it dont git no better
