I have spun a bearing and may need a replacement block. Now that is bad enough but the fellow that tried to pull the engine dropped it and broke the oil pan and bent the transmittion cooler and and the piping going into the heat exchanger. So I pulled the engine myself and got my hand in the way, another story. If any one has any information on parts or some on that has repower that has their old engines around yet please contact me. Thanks Bic's Lady ( 41 hatt ) Ross Owner

I know of a pair of 400hp 6v53TA's that are coming out of a 1990 42' Egg Harbor. Might make an easy upgrade for you. E-mail me and I can get you in touch with the owner. If not try boatdiesel.com. If you don't find one listed, post an ad in the wanted section. I'm sure someone will have an 8v53 around.

Re: 6v53TA's
Hi Jack, things are going well, for a change. Should have the boat ready to splash the begining of june, can't wait. I was over at Shinacock at oaklands marina sat, and looked at Jimmy Hummels new (to him) 6? 41 hatt with big cummins c in it. My interior, his everthing else and I'd be set for life. He just had a new paint job done, fighting lady yellow, modern air intakes, and you couldn't hardly tell the difference between the 90's 3/4 mil boats and the 30+ year old one. Gave me a role model to shoot for.
Hows your repower going?? when do you plan on splashing??
