VVT makes a lot of sense in a marine application. It should make for a very high power engine without reversion issues.
The Volvo 6.0 could be a big game changer. I'm curious if Merc has something coming out soon to compete.
i was just thinking the volvo 380 in a 16 with the duo prop would be a great package

that 380/duo combo would just about sink a 16....

It's about time the 6.0L GM platform was picked up by the marine industry. I really don't feel it's a replacement for the BBC though since they just don't build the low end torque like a BBC. But maybe they'll prove me wrong. It certainly saves a lot of weight.

Has anyone looked at the LSX 454 crate engine?

It looks like 500+ HP is available.

the problem with the LSX craters, and the Volvo 6.2, is the rpm level needed to attain those HP numbers just aren't condusive to *acceptable* drive life
unless you plan on doing it every year,.... or less
more specs on the volvo

looks like Ilmor also has a 6.0 at 380hp in their OPS series motors

Jim, you know more about this than I do. I haven't seen a curve on either engine.
However, considering Rick's comment, a 7.4L engine w/what has to be a relatively long stroke should give some satisfying grunt.
Maybe the marine industry needs to attain some experience and pick a curve w/the best HP/torque attributes at the best engine speed of the 7.4L version..

I guess i'm having a problem with this 6,000 rpm thingy, but Volvo feels the DPS is up to the task
a Bravo at 6,000 rpm? maybe not so much...
peak MPG on a single is at 4,500 rpm? really? I guess we're used to lugging around at 3200-3500 to get the same MPG..
I am not sure how to digest this, but the boat they tested with was 28 feet with an 8 and a half foot beam weighing over 6800 lbs as tested the 380 pushed it to 43 mph 5000 rpm at to a max of 53 mph at 6000 rpm. just have to wonder what it would do with a boat almost half the length and a little more than a 1/3rd of that weight????
the AQ225hp small block tipped the scales at 925lbs complete with a 280 drive, the complete 380 just tips the scales about a 150lbs heavier.

I just hauled my drag car down to Phoenix. The 496 in my truck will pull my 24' enclosed trailer up some pretty big hills @3200-3500 rpm's all day long. From what I've seem a 6.0L truck needs 4000-4500 rpm's to do the same with the same gearing. Maybe as George states the big ci small blocks will work but I still like the torque & HP curves of the BBC. I say this but then I have a sb 400 in my drag car.

funny you mentioned gears this duoprop runs on 2.14 gears they said it was up from a 1.9
trying to find the price on a complete pkg. just saw a vdrive ilmor 6.0 380hp OPS with a 1.5 tranny from 18K I would think this VP pkg would be north of 20k.
