from car to boat?

[lghtnin33]

Hello all,
Can anyone tell me where I can find a book on how to marinize an engine out of a car or truck? I know all 4 cycles are the same in theory but what makes the marine motors different? And what makes this quest even more difficult is I need the specs. and tolerences for ford products. Any info on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Lightning, I think you might have a better chance at a response posting this over in the blower motor section. There are a lot of guys who are engine builders in there.

Head gaskets, cam, carb, freeze plugs, jets, alternator, starter,exhaust, fuel pump and system to the motor, sometimes the distributor.
