[slideways]

Hi All
Does anyone know if these exist and if so where i can obtain a pair?

Cheers

These guys will do you a pair and all sorts of marinising bits and bobs

http://www.lancingmarine.com/

or there's a cheap set here

Got to ask though what are you thinking about putting it in as there are probably better options.

Remember successful boat power is all about torque not horsepower.

Thanks for that,
It was an idea I had as my essex v6 jet boat engine has seen better days, and i have seen a lexus v8 in the same boat so the Rv8 should fit, they are torquey engines so should do the trick and are cheap as chips

If you are serious you want to be buying that pair of manifolds on boatsandoutboards sharpish.

You wont get change out of a grand from Lancing for marinising a RV8

What he says but still talk to Lancing before you spend shedloads. As you say Rovers are torquey but it's about where they deliver it across the rev range. Big block chevys are torquey but they have a totally different cam for marine use to give torque across a different range.

A jet maybe different from props of course which is my knowledge but run the wrong cam overlaps and you will reingest all that lovely seawater that keeps the engine cool and that is disaster time for ally heads.

Why do the manifolds need to be watercooled for a marine application??

To cool down the exhaust (think fibreglass) and also preheat cooling water to allow the engine to warm up efficiently
