Answer: Mercury Marine 4 cyl Boat Motor hooked to a C4 Ford transmission

Dear Mr. Keefer;

Good pics.

Nice to see something different in the "Hot Rod" world.

John M....

I'd have to agree with that...

Years ago there was a hillclimb car used a V4 Johnson outboard engine, and I often looked at blocks that were in for alloy welding after blowups and thought some of them (Evinrude?) would make mighty interesting engines that were something different.

It's a Mercruiser 224 cubic inch 4 cylinder inboard boat engine, otherwise known as a 470, 488, 170 horse or 190 horse, according if it has a 2 bbl or 4 bbl on it. It's actually half of a Ford 460 with a bit shorter stroke. It looks like it has an aluminum 429 SCJ head on it too. I have been wanting to do this same thing for a while! I think it's pretty cool!!!
