Well Marine Assault Custom engines will be the OEM supplier to Trident Custom Boats. Engines for their new "Revolution" dual jet drive deck boat.
Trident Boats Web Site (http://www.tridentboats.com/)
522 CID was decided on for a number of reasons. To operate within the effeciency range of a single intercooled 3.3 Whipple, to allow use of GM Gen VI blocks and cranks and also use of Edelbrock Performer RPM Marine cylinder heads. Everything working together.
Some of the components, J&E's best blower piston, Eagle "H" beams with L-19 bolts, Comp pro magnum rockers, Isky springs, hydraulic roller lifters and push rods, Cometic
head gaskets, ATI super damper blower balancer, SFI flex plate etc.

This OEM engine will be as revolutionary as the boat. Design, construction and features etc. Every component has been selected to compliment the other. This results in an awesome "engine combination". The entire engine combination designed specifically for the boat as well. Who could ask more of their OEM engine? This will not be a crate engine or a "select this model" engine from a list of take it or leave it models.
"Froggystyle" from Trident requested between 650 and 700 HP as the base model OEM engine. The engine will actually be built for 900+ HP. This will allow a HP upgrade without being concerned with the engine's ability to handle it. Pistons, rods, head gaskets, cylinder heads, camshaft etc. will all be there if more power is wanted when the warranty period is up. Or up front with no warranty. Disclaimer Will have to speak with Trident for details. A blower pulley change and computer re-program and a few hundred additional HP is there.
