4 cyl big block!

[ECMnut at aol.com]

Where can you buy this stuff used?
It seems Mercriuser has all kinds of hybrids that are loosely based
on the automotive market...I was at a Good Guys type rod meet
20 years ago, and saw a bowtie trailer with all kinds of 
"engines to be" in it...  There was BBC V6, which was a
454 with the front two cylinders chopped off.  
It was a 340 CID V6 with huge ports..  I wonder if it 
made the boat markets...  ANy boat boneyards in the midwest?
A thumpin mountain motored 4cyl would be great for an
MG Midget project I got sittin in the garage..
