Boat Forum / Building / August 2008How can I increase the power of my 1990 OMC 4.3L engine?
Is it possible? My engine is not a real "marine" engine but comes from a car. I've a 2 BBL stock Rochester carb and a Ignitor (ignition conversion kit). Is there someone who could help me? Thanks in advance and greetings from Belgium You can, but I assure you that you really do not want to do that. It is far better to adapt a more powerful and fuel efficient engine. It is much less expensive.

Also consider the strength of your outdrive and a need to re-prop. > You can, but I assure you that you really do not want to do that.
