info deemed pretty reliable, Left hand, 115 hours, 310 @ 4200, pro-tech,
includes Alt, WP, Starter, 4160, cast intake was removed edelbrock installed, no exhaust manifolds the engine that replaced this engine was a drop in from PCM and was replaced because of a bad diagnosis, and customer was billed $7500.00 I need to pull this engine out of the boat and if more details are needed please call 877-369-6693 TR maybe you can comment on the year because of the pro-tech on it, it does have the red valve covers w/ aluminum fins i will have a price this week sometime Eric |

I may have to keep close to this thread. My motor was making some "not so nice noises" today and it almost sounds internal. Where is this motor located?

Todd, its at my shop here in Ohio, I believe it was from a 1997, it was very very clean when i pulled the intake 4 years ago, a guy bought it from me and installed it into his Sea-Ray, he wanted me to finish the job and brought the boat here and i told him i refused to work on the boat because of the rot, it sat and i sold him my Wellcraft Nova. now he brought the boat back to pull the drive and engine in hopes to re-coup some of his OOP, out of pocket at the time i sold it for close to 3k becasue it had everything hanging on it, even the belts, its complete but needs a little clean up. i think its a good deal if someone needs a complete, it has the alt on it, starter, clean 4160....I would probably update the intake because he used the one from his boat,
It sounds as if you have a damper problem and not an engine problem, hopefully this engine will sell to someone that needs one, just wanted to post some more details about it |

Eric, based on the valve covers, its probably a 93-95. PCM installed the Pro-Tec from 91-95, I believe.
The hp rating for the carb'd version was either 285 or 300 based on whose literature you believe, and WOT RPM was 4800 (not 4200). The carbed HO 351w was known as the "Pro Boss", which is not to be confused with the "GT40", which was the multiport EFI version- although both used GT40 heads. |

I agree, some things you save in the hope chest and some you sell in the yard sale....Ive become quite a fan of these GT's, I would consider putting one in a Ford model A, instead of a SBC

Lucho shipping would be the easiest part of the quest...I would be more concern on how to get it through customs and paperwork to have it ok to legally do a swap....(even more difficult being used)
I have a shipper that can have it here for the 50% of it fob value...but no papers at all!!! I guess you could do a poncho on the numbers and thats it...but I wouldn´t be mind safe knowing I have that kind of issues..... But yes Its a nice engine to dream on no less than 6k for something like that here a little bit more with the manifolds...lol |

I always wrote warranty on the boxes and they seemed to slip through customs easier

Kapla, I'm glad you decided to try this first.
Complete engine weight is around 950lbs. Less the exhaust manifolds would be around 800lbs??? 10lbs less if it does not have oil in!!! |

That is what I need. I take it you didn't sell it yet then. Is it complete minus the exhaust manifolds? I may be interested in it to replace my worn engine even if I could fix the exhaust leak problem. How much would shipping be to 32256, Jacksonville, FL?
