Looking to pick up a 454 for my Sleekcraft. Kinda new to the boats scene. Is there a difference between a car motor and a marine motor? What are the differences? Thanks for any help.
454's were built for automobiles, but can be built to handle higher rpm's to make them safe for high rpm's that we run them in. anyone can put a motorhome 454 in a jet boat, and it will run fine. by changing the motor internals (cam, lifters, rockers, manifold, carbs, fuel systems, ect...) will make it a much more stout motor. these upgrades will usually keep the motor happy and give you years of run time on the river.Looking to pick up a 454 for my Sleekcraft.
