Merc Reman Concept Engine

Geez...a 540 with only 400hp? Am I missing something? Such a big block, so much weight.....very strange. If I was looking to repower, this would not be a choice for me.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

I see tha ad says large boats and cruisers...guessing they aimed for torque as stated also, but wonder why so little hp too??
Wonder if cost would be low enough to use as a base with cam, carb, and intake swap able to liven it up??

The CR is only 8.6:1 and it runs on 87 octane.


In my opinion - that's an engine that's begging for a blower.
