    We hail from Huron, Oh.
    I have one complete 283 (fly fwd.) Port eng. standard rotation
    and the stb eng. (reverse rotation) has been partially parted out.
    I have all the manifolds though.

    A friend of mine has a matched pair of Chrysler marine engines for sale. I think they are 318's but would want to double check. They came out of this boat---

    That 1966 Trojan probably had 275 HP 383s or 440s. Was that picture taken at Rodi's on Ashland Ave?? ws

    Think the name was Brand's Boatyard and it was nust north of Irving Park. Still checking on the horsepower and other details of the engines.
  6. Thats BONDS boat yard... just north of Belmont and east of California... Grebe yachts used to be across the river there also. Actually it was across from RiverView amusement park.
    That Trojan is a TALL boat to get in that far north!! ws

    Yep, that picture was taken at Bond's Boatyard a few years ago. My friends have a pair of 1969 Chrysler 440 CID 300 HP counter-rotating marine engines complete with transmissions, starter, alternators, etc. which are still in the Chicago area. They are crated and ready to go. I don't want to violate any forum posting rules, so interested parties should send me a PM. Thanks.
