Went to my engine builder today to see how my Crackerbox engine is coming along. He showed me a rebuilt Graymarine Continental 4 cylinder motor with exhaust manifold to had rebuilt for someone a while back. Guy paid for about 1/2 the work and never came back. Repeated attempts were made to reach him and none were successful. Owner informed me that he would take $1000.00 for the motor and transmission ( he has to look for that). I told him I'd post it here for him. He's a nice old guy in this 70's so he is clueless on the computer.

Seemed like a good deal for someone on here. Owner has been building engines for 40 years+, and does a lot of sprint car and super modified stuff as well as marine. He's located in Derry, NH

I love the "old school" stuff....

Do you know what the HP would be on that?

Any idea what year it is?

(at the risk of getting myself outbid... I'll bet some members of the ACBS would give their left arm for something like that)

A picture would be great.

Give me specs and let me tell "someone I know"
