Sweet motor

[Znitso]

Låter fint!

[LordAppelsved]

@Znitso Tack ska du ha :D den far runt någonstans runt sundsvall nuförtiden om du vill höra den live =) MVH

[Znitso]

@LordAppelsved Så lite. Då vet jag ^^ Bor i sthlm men har jag vägarna förbi sundsvall så.

[Peterbj]

Gas pig. Carb 2 stroke is out.

[LordAppelsved]

@Peterbj Thank you for your remark. You'll be happy to hear the engine is sold. However, if studying a LCA - Life Cycle Analysis - the best way to NOT pollute nature is sticking with the old stuff you have rather than buying new equipment - regardless of gas milage. /Philip

why do you need a v-8 to achive 300hp? i have much smaller v-6 achive that.

[LordAppelsved]

@1337bman

ask the engineers att OMC, I didn't design the engine. However the V8 puts out quite alot of torque, so I guess that would have been one of the reasons for making a V8 instead of L6/V6. Anyways, the engine is now sold.

[DickWheels]

@LordAppelsved Reliability!!! The same horse as a v6 in a v8 is going to be much more reliable. You can only get so much power out of a smaller displacement before you just start breaking things.

[yoster77]

@1337bman Like the other guy said, torque. It all comes down to your application. A good example is the 5.0L, 270hp fuel injected motor I had on my 21ft Four Winns. Fast boat, but my 5.7L 235hp carb'd motor I had on my old 77 21' SeaRay had noticeably more torque. Boat was heavier, engine older, but the thing just pulled the skiers out of the water easier. Both were inboard/outboards.

So in contrast that v8 300hp is going to have a definite torque advantage over a similarly-aged v6 300hp.

[nekdonoben]

is it 2 or 4 stroke

[LordAppelsved]

@nekdonoben

2-stroke

[LordAppelsved]

@nekdonoben

2-stroke

[1980power1]

How many Speed?

[LordAppelsved]

@1980power1

One speed, not sure about the ratio though.... haha just kidding! the boat it pretty heavy so it does about 50mph, not too impressive.

[Hawkster0001]

thats looks about right for my 12foot aluminum rowboat

[LordAppelsved]

Ok the boat is now in water and running after a long winter-rest.. Will try to get som WOT fotage and post it for you. Best/Philip

[sdvten]

Gotta love those old V8 OMCs.

[LordAppelsved]

It burns about 20 gallons/h at WOT if i'm not mistaking completely =)

[THEFERMANATOR]

@LordAppelsved

Closer to 32-35 gallons per hour at WOT.

[LordAppelsved]

@THEFERMANATOR

maybe you're right.. i try not to think about it since the gas-price is about $1,65/Litre here i Sweden... =)

[Robbertdelange]

@LordAppelsved Try 1,70 in euro's here in the netherlans:(

[BigAgitator]

must use a lot of gas!!!

that's a great sounding engine. very nice

[LordAppelsved]

I'll see what i can do this summer =) The ice has just melted so give me another month at least =)

[Motorfordtoyota]

Can we see this thing on the water doing WOT?

[stdavross666]

dont see to many of these around

[stdavross666]

love it.

[deville9549]

very very cool!!!
