Are marine engines REALLY that bad? - 05/08/14 07:35 PM
Recently, I've been in the hunt for a bare 440 block and put out an ad on Craigslist. One of the local responses I got was from a Marine Engine shop that has a lot of Chrysler parts in the pig pile. They'll let a used 440 Chrysler Marine short block go for $130. Knowing what I know about salt water cooling, are these blocks really that bad as the basis of a rebuild? The price is more than right.
