A New Marine Base Engine is an engine which is produced by either GM or Ford
for the manufacturer of marine engines (ie. Mercruiser, OMC, Volvo, etc.), which
these manufacturers use as the base for their finished product. We, in many
cases,can supply the Base engine eliminating the middleman at a greatly reduced
price. Remember, the engine is new so it is has all the latest updates in design
which may make it hard, or expensive to replace an earlier style engine. The
engine usually includes, the block with all internal parts,heads,intake
manifold,valve covers,circulating water pump, timing cover, harmonic balancer,
oil pan, and flywheel. This description is typical for the small block Ford
& Chevy, but can change at any time. Below are examples of Marine Base
Engines.
