Re: Engine Identity

Its a 24 foot Fiberform. It is a gas engine, and the markings on the outdrive is a "V". It looks like an 8 cylinder engine.

Re: Engine Identity

Picture will be here soon. Just have to get the camera working right... <br /><br />Couple of more pieces of info. The engine is a 351. I did see the name Edelbrock on the manifold. It has dual flame arrestors. Looking around is it Ford that made a 351? Like I said the outdrive has a big V on the face of it, so I assume it is Volvo. Previous owner is in Syria for another month so I can get no info from him. I will take it to the marine mechanic in town here, however I am on a 2 and a half week waiting list. Any help is always appreciated.

Could be Cleveland or Windsor block, ident. by how wide valve covers are. If this is a hopped up engine and sounds like it could be Cleveland engine.
