TURNPIKE CRUISER POWER OPTIONSN
The TPC (as did PARKLANE) used the LINC 430 4V as a base engine (360HP). Of course the SUPER MARAUDER was the performance option.

Rebuild

Pinermel, I'm starting the same thing, two �60 MELs in a Chris Craft. KULTULZ and this forum is a great help.
Would you mind telling me where the shop your using is located? Just thinking ... best of luck.

MARINE ENGINESN.........May 31 2005, 1:40 PM

I never fooled with MARINE (poor boy you know) so I have very limited knowledge.

I haven't had a shop for many years but am thinking of starting a small one for FORD specific repairs and modifications.

Would you believe just a few days ago, I was researching software to upgrade my scan tool to EUROPEAN?

I need help. No more TOYOTAS!

Keep in mind that all the pistons from Egge, Kantor, Falcon Global etc... are all flat top pistons. No step on the top. They effectively reduce the compression to about 7 to 1.

I have a set of .020 Egge's flat tops for a 430 with only about 40 hours running time on them.... $100
MEL Marine division... and if you thought MEL car parts were scarce....
