Met "The_Reed" today
This pic is from his profile, what it doesn't say is that there's a marine 454 under the hood of this!

Marine Engines
Are built so the starter, alternator, etc. doesn't have the capability to start a fire. They are double insulated to prevent sparks which could ignite petroleum fumes in the engine bay. That is according to my neighbor. I wish I wasn't on travel to San Diego. Gotta miss the picnic. Kerry

Different cams and all the parts that could rust out are stainless steel. Thats why Marine carbs are so expensive.
