I have a 1972 35' Chris Craft with twin 505 210hp v8 motors.They have not been run for ten years,and are real hard to work on inside the boat.So I want to pull them out.Need to know are these motors worth trying to fix,port side motor has water in oil.Please advise Brian |

Compaired to the other cummins engines the v8's of that vintage had a poor reputation.After a few years they went back to inline 6 cylinder engines that ran at slower speeds.If i did some looking i could find the weight of a bare engine,but its heavy.The problem guys have if they try to repower with a newer engine is there is no room for a big inline engine plus they run slower. |

Larry thanks for the info.My shop has an over head electric chain hoist 2000lb.I have used it to pull some 6 354 slant perkins diesels out of a boat same trans as the cummins,but the cummins look a little heaver what do you think. |
