Hey folks, after just buying my boat about a week ago, and finding it to have a spun rod bearing, I found a super nice motor and went and bought it on the spot. Came from a externally damaged 97 bayliner with less than 100 hrs on it.
Now my original motor had roller rockers and EFI setup (TBI) and the "new" motor has flat tappet and a 2 barrel carb.
What kind of HP should the "new" motor have had with it's stock setup?
How much will I gain from EFI and electronic ignition swap VS losing my roller rockers?
Or to simplify it, roughly how many HP should I expect with a flat tappet 5.7 with TBI fuel injection?
