Creighton, NE | Rich,
I worked at an independent repair shop in Lincoln,Ne back in the late 80's through the mid 90's and we worked on quite a few of those floaters with the triple nickels. Those motors were used in boats but more notably used to keep the boat from moving. lol I would not count on that being a very dependable engine with those kind of hours on it.
We did repower a scad of these with (if memory serves me right) a 6BTA inline Cummins which made a pretty good unit out of the machine. One of the other guys at the shop did most of these repowers but it wasn't that bad of a job after we did a couple and figured out what all needed to be done. I haven't worked there since 96 but if you're interested in more details I could probably get you in contact with somebody that could give you a lot more specifics on the repower details. | |
