Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines GM 4 cylinders 151 153 181

I'm totally new to GM inliners I'm building a 23 T using a Mercury Marine/Chevy 153 engine rated at 120 HP. I've always like 4s and 6s over V8s for light rods. When given the chance for a free Mercury I remembered that in the 60s they got run in Midgets so jumped on it not knowing that finding manifolds would be a hunt!I'm told the intake can be cut away from the marine manifold and used but haven't tried that yet. This will be strictly a street ride with a 700R4 trans (sorry can't use a clutch ) and an s10 rear in about a 1200 pound glass T. What got me hooked on small engines ? As a teen I watched a 62 Chevy II walk all over a hemi powered 37 Ford Pick up the motor was built to the max with V8 head etc. the car ran Ct. Dragway and was called Mystery 4.
