Has anyone ever done an LS 5.3 or 6.0 engine swap into one of these stendrive boats? I have searched the forum and Google and have came up with nothing but jet pump swaps... Not sure if it is even possible?
The bore and stroke are different which is why I thought that.Yes a 6.2 is Mercruiser's own design. It's 377 ci. I bet it uses GM small block architecture with modern controls and sensors.
And change the head gasket.Well, i may go with the O'reillys long block 5.7 and put in brass plugs and call it a day... Found the imfamous cracked block today..
The LS is starting to be used and you can find the conversion if you dig deep enough. Most of the stuff is high HP and expensive the manifolds are very spendy...in the end a good old 5.7 can be had for very cheap same hp levels for about 1/2 the cost.
Isn't the 6.2L is a Merc stand alone engine. Thought it was developed by them and it wasn't GM.
That makes way more sense.yep, GM performance 3.75" stroker crank dropped into a GM 5.7 liter block. same as a 383, however with virgin bores.
