Author	Topic:   Engine modifications for more power
JimU	posted 11-04-2002 12:12 PM ET (US)         Does any one have experience with modifying a 3 liter V-6 Merc/Mariner Engine to get more power? What are the modifications and what is the approximate cost? Do they affect engine life. Thanks. JIM

JBCornwell	posted 11-04-2002 03:59 PM ET (US)             Ahoy, JimU. I agree with Captbone. There are people who do a lot of "hotrodding" of outboards, however. Go to iboats Bulleting Board, Outboard Engines Forum and ask. Specifically ask for DHadley, an old-time outboard racer. Red sky at night. . . JB
