If it helps, the way to identify an Elephant Hemi from other Mopar engines is by looking at its distinctive centre-mounted spark plug location on the valve covers. Hemi:  Boring old 318:  Max Wedge joy:  You can tell it's a Mopar engine because it's currently not in a running vehicle.

Sorry if that came across as snarky. Guess they're rare then? What were they usually found in?

Cakefool posted:Sorry if that came across as snarky. Guess they're rare then? What were they usually found in? Boats. The Marine Hemi (IIRC) has a different crankshaft because it turns in the opposite direction from a car Hemi. http://www.allpar.com/history/marine.html

angryhampster posted:Does this make them better, or just different? Just different, if anything in terms of performance numbers, slightly worse. Marine engines, especially high performance automotive based ones, are designed to be slightly detuned as their operating range is intended to spend most of their time at half throttle or above. No gears, direct drive, so to get to the highest speed you are running at full throttle. IIRC the marine Hemi only had an output of 300hp or so.  Those are Mercury Marine based 600+ cubic inch big blocks, supercharged with about 4-6 pounds of boost, in a Cigarette American Bad rear end we got in at work.  The 900+ on the air cleaner is the horsepower rating, and when you think about it a 600+ inch mountain motor with a 12-71 supercharger on race gas making 900-1,000hp is chump change to an engine with those specs. The fact that they can last for hours at WOT is the amazing part. That's a 46 foot boat that will do 120mph. No two are exactly the same, and they cost a million dollars plus when new. That particular one sold for $250,000 used. e- here's the cockpit, cabin, and outdrives.... the props on those are about the most aggressive you'll ever see on a boat, machined from a solid billet... a few thousand dollars each, just for the props    e2- I was wrong, that article states they start with a casting and CNC finish it for the final product e3- Here's the link to Richie Zul's website, the guy responsible for those particular engines in the Cigarette. Cigarette deals exclusively with Mercury Marine itself now, no more boutique builders like this. http://www.zulracing.com/ Seizure Meat fucked around with this message at 18:51 on Nov 17, 2014 |

While I usually despise power boaters, it is nice to dispense with sailing for a week (because you'd probably loving die on the Lake if you tried to be out there with those crazy fuckers tearing rear end across the water) when those boats roll in for the Poker Run. They make insane noises. I thought I had some videos from this year lying around but it looks like they didn't make it onto G+ from the old phone. http://www.lanierpartners.org/ https://www.facebook.com/PiratesOfLanierPokerRun/photos_stream e: holy poo poo, just found this on their facebook

Powerboats, like any high-buck enterprise, sometimes attract a certain type of owner. It's to be expected, but the flipside is there are usually just as many who are happy to bring you on a ride to show off and share in their good fortune if you ask. I get to work on the big powerboats a lot because the other people in my department are normal, non-autists when it comes to high performance poo poo. I really do love my job sometimes. Mostly, they are "normal" Cigarettes, Fountains and the like. Cigarette is a brand name, but it's also synonymous with the class of boat and you might hear them referred to as such even if it's a different brand. This is one of the "normal" boats we get, this one sold for around $65,000 IIRC, listed for about $250,000 new though I may be wrong on that.       Also, a correction, the Zul engines in the Cigarette I posted earlier were not Mercury Marine based, they are custom Merlin blocks that originally displaced 540 cubic inches (8.8L for you Euro guys), they were punched out to 620ci IIRC (10.2L!)

You should make a thread for those boats. I love looking at them and dreaming. Honestly it's not the sale price that turns me away, it's the fuel mileage.

Boats with cool engines you say? Feruccio Lamborghini bought the most beautiful boat Riva Aquarama in the world and said gently caress a Chrysler v8s, I need a pair of my 4.0l v12's   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LkQbVTWr4g I should mention that normally thoes boats go from 300 to 600 thousand dollars. I cant imagine what that one would be worth. Preoptopus fucked around with this message at 20:35 on Nov 17, 2014 |

http://www.motoexotica.com/inventory/listing/1984-aston-martin-lagonda-owned-by-robert-evel-knievel/ You can buy Evel Knievel's Lagonda, with a 502 Chevy and a coffin trailer.   I don't care what anybody else thinks, the Lagonda was a good-lookin' car.

There's something hosed up with the lines on that car, I swear the door handles aren't at the same height. Does the beltline have an inverted curve on the rear door or something?
