This would be cool if it wasn't so far away from CO. Guy has 2 Mercruiser 470 engines, one "good", one for parts. @ $200, it wouldn't be a bad gamble.

What is a 470, you ask? I had to look it up. AI says "The Mercruiser 470 engine is a 3.7-liter (224 cubic inch) 4-cylinder engine, typically rated at 170 horsepower with a 2-barrel carburetor and up to 190 horsepower with a 4-barrel carburetor. It features an aluminum block with cast iron sleeves and uses parts from Ford's 460 engine, including the cylinder head and connecting rods."

I'd venture to say you'd have the only 470 at any car show. Fits the definition "Oddball engine choices"

That would be interesting!

Hello, im new here, I've been lurking when I can and learning as much as possible. I have a 26 dodge, dont know who built it, I got it last year and it is a fun ride! It has an isuzu 4 cylinder g180 out of a 79 chevy luv. 4 speed trans, 10 bolt rear. Overall just fun, not a race car, but fun to cruise. Im having ignition troubles, and I am thinking about replacing everything and putting an electronic ignition in. My cousin on the other hand is pushing for me to use a chvy 4. 3 v6 and auto trans that he has. I have a list of pros and cons for both, I just thought I would see what you guys think.

Sounds like a fun ride, pic when you can?
