I can garuantee you that if you buy this engine and you rebuild/replace the carb you will have a solid, strong engine, and if treated like it was meant to be treated it will last you several years. It's a drop in and go situation.

This is a completely stock engine with the only exceptions being the intake and the Ignitor ignition module. This is basically the same engine that I had in my Miller. I drove that boat for hours straight, I just kept the RPM's at or below 4,000 RPM's with short occasional 5,000++ RPM blast's.

just curious....you went to the extent to rebuild the engine....why didnt you rebuild the carb as well?

This engine is not rebuilt, it's been thoroughly checked a given a clean bill of health.

Not a big deal on this site but on eBay over thousand feedbacks is a lot of transactions, so basicaly I stake my reputation on this engine. Neither Marc nor I rebuild carbs, we take them apart, clean them the best we can, and then get them to run. A properly rebuilt carb is more than disassembling it and spraying carb cleaner and then compressed air through the ports and jets.

If my boat were a V hull this engine would not be for sale. But as my tunnel hull and this engine sit, I'd need to get a lot of parts to be able to install it. I'd rather have the BBC that my boat is set-up for.

I can vouch for the compression , I am the one who checked it. I also pulled off the main caps and checked the bearings and the crank , and they both look bran new. It appears to be a std/std crank with new bearings.

If you go on some of the 455 sites and read the compression charts most of the older car motors were 190 cranking compression.
