Here is a broker that knows NOTHING

Chrysler-Nissans.

A blast-from-the-past.

They weren't necessarily bad engines, but they never caught on here, so support is nearly non-existent at best. AFAIK, there is one parts supplier in CA that has all the inventory.

I'm kind of baffled at the rebuild. 200 HP and the cost of a rebuild vs a repower with some Cummins 330s or 370s? Yeah, the repower would be more, but the performance gain and the obsolescence of Jezus-Chryslers....

Chrysler-Datsun/Nissan or Mitsubishi?
Been a long time since I have laid eyes on that old stuff.
And you are correct, With a good credit card, I would of replaced them with lil Cummins packages.

Chrysler Nissan (Yes, Datsun) International Harvester used them in Scouts too. Maybe part of what led to the bankruptcy.

These things were literally from my childhood.

Mitsubishi. Bayliner used them as well; 6M655 was 130hp and 6DS7 was 200hp.

Speaking of brokers who know nothing...

The original listing shows the same engines snd they say Chrysler-Nissan right on them. Chrysler and Mitsubishi partnered up on cars, but not marine engines AFAIK.

To clarify, I had referred to the listing for the Hatteras, not the Bayliner. Look at the pics of the engines in both listings. They're physically the same except for the turbochargers on the Hatt.

That's not to say that Nissan and Mitsu didn't trade products. Kind of like a lot of Yanmars are Toyotas, and the big V-8 says Scania right on the valve covers.

I own a 1978 International 284 tractor. It was a joint venture with Komatsu and built in Japan. Most of them had a Mazda gasser, but mine has the Nissan 3-cylinder diesel, 28hp. I'm sure parts for that would be difficult to obtain as well. But it sure is a cute little tractor.
