1994 Bowtie block

[blk00z28]

I have a friend who has one. Came out of a boat. It was a carb motor.

Anyone have any idea as if this would work for our trucks? I don't think he has heads for it. (He might..:dunno: ) I also don't know if its an even or odd fire. I'm trying to work a deal with him on this motor.

How hard would it be to make this work with our intakes? I'm assuming not to hard, maybe different heads because of the carb setup. But what else? Anyone know?

Bowtie block in boat huh? makes some sence... My guess would be it's an even fire. look at the dist. if it's same as yours it's an even, if it's got 2 groups of 3 (basicly a V8 cap missing 2 posts) it's an odd fire. heads are marine specific and not what you want. grab some vortech's for it. Marine motors are low compression and designed to run on 87 octane fuels and generaly have excelent parts in them since they normaly run flat out for extended time periods they must be sturdy. hope something helps.

I told him to let me come look at it, and I'll get more info. Thanks for your reply Wikid. I really didnt think I'd get any.

Make sure it's a real "GM Performance Parts" Bowtie and not just the heavy duty marine version. If it is the stock engine that came in the boat I bet it's not...... unless he go the boat from someone like us who swapped it in!

Get a casting number Tim and do a search on it. It should reveal what he has.
