*Randy70C-10* · 06-05-2005, 03:47 PM

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

Great meeting you bud, stop over anytime!

Bamm · 06-05-2005, 06:39 PM

Sweet, look forward to talkin' to Mr Reed..... You guys coming to the board picnic next saturday?

*Randy70C-10* · 06-05-2005, 07:43 PM

I'm still planning on it, hopefully we'll have nice weather to look forward too.

68w/sbc406 · 06-05-2005, 08:40 PM

whats the diff between a normal 454 and a marine one?

*Randy70C-10* · 06-05-2005, 09:00 PM

I honestly don't know.

**tnblazerk5** · 06-05-2005, 09:05 PM

there made just alittle differant , there tougher . got more metal in them and more suport in them and there made to run at a certian rpm longer , man i aint good at explaning this

its like this you can put a marine motor in a car/truck but you cant put a car/truck one in a boat i think i got that rite

**JIMs70GMC** · 06-05-2005, 09:07 PM

I was there too! That 454 sounded great. Randys ZZ3 sounded and rode nice also. I'll be at the picnic.

*Randy70C-10* · 06-05-2005, 09:13 PM

Did I mention that Jim was there too?

**JIMs70GMC** · 06-05-2005, 09:20 PM

I thought the marine motors had some kind of provision for cooling the motor or something different, hell i don't know what I'm talking about.

Wootdog · 06-05-2005, 09:38 PM

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

*Randy70C-10* · 06-05-2005, 10:04 PM

Ahhhh, is that why I couldn't get you on the phone today? Have a safe trip!

Dick Dale · 06-06-2005, 12:03 AM

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

powell72 · 06-06-2005, 12:30 AM

**JIMs70GMC** · 06-06-2005, 05:54 AM

powell72 · 06-07-2005, 07:28 PM
