Buddy's SeaRay 270SD has a 6.2 MPI/B3 setup.
he was out about a month ago and it wouldnt start when he was going to leave the Bar/Restaurant on the water.
he thought it was a bad starter. called Sea Tow, had his boat towed to his mobile mechanic. I asked if he was hydro locked or not, he said didnt think so, however mechanic would be looking at it.
the mechanic was busy and didnt get to the boat for about 4 weeks.
turns out it was hydro-locked.
and it sat......
and now it wont turn over.
He was quoted 12k for a new motor
Having the buddy work with the mechanic on deals, however i told him to get the motor yanked, a Michigan Motorz long block would be so much cheaper.
however he keeps asking if I would help him build a motor as he knows I have built a few strokers.....
Just awaiting the serial number to know what ECM is in there, and to determine which heat exchanger i will be putting on the motor. in addition to closed cooling, I plan on stainless risers.
Who does the best job at re-flashing the stock ECM's ?
I will be changing the cam profile, the intake runners, porting the heads, and changing slugs. So I will need an appropriate tune.
RPM will be higher, torque band will be fatter.
Pictures will ensue..... Motor coming out today, should be on engine stand by weekend.
