i know there's been talk about car or truck motors going in boats. how about dropping a mercruiser engine into a truck? would it work in my land cruiser?
thanks

Really no reason why not. May consider a cam change for something a little more bottom end friendly, but otherwise should work killer.
The real only problem you may have is dialing in the ECM to run clean at cruise (boats don't get a high vacuum cruise too often.. :D), I may have the right software for that system, don't know how tuneable it will be. :-\
Hope you're not concerned with fuel mileage... :P

the 525 efi picture was the only one i could find at the time :D. more like a 350 mpi.
yea i kinda thought cam change too. but mechanically usable? machine tolerances ok?
thanks

Not too much special about a Mercruiser engine, not like a jet boat, I/O's typically are designed to run 140-160*F, you should be GTG... :thumbup:
Just keep in mind these are open loop EFI....Read; no O2 sensor... ;)
