      that is one giant motor

    • firehawk400:

      The 8.1 is built off of a modified Chevy 454 (7.4) block, so it should be fairly easy.

    • michiganmotorz2008:

      NO the 8.1L is NOT built off a modified 454. Nothing internal or external from a 454 will work on a 8.1L. (other than the bell-housing) Two totally different motors. The only common thing is both engines are built via GM.

    • DontTread0nMe1776:

      @urbex2007 my 2001 Silverado 2500HD 4×4 has the 8.1 with a 6 speed manual behind it, hard to find but they are out there.

    • tescofood:

      WTF 8.1 litres. It must drink petrol. Seriously.

    • cumminsturbofan101:

      @tescofood well duh of course it will it’s a 496 big block, when you put that engine in a boat, given you can afford the engine in the first place you don’t care about gallons per hour, you want to go fast :)

    • sleman22:

      WTF .. Is it usual to see the water coming out from the exhaust?????

    • Fastsprinter87:

      i can see the fuel guage moving already!!

    • derk648:

      Selman22, well duh?!!! It’s water cooled exaust

    • 616ist:

      @michiganmotorz2008 The 8.1 is a 496 ci engine.I like them.

    • intiractive:

      @sleman22 damnit! he must have blown the head gasket already :( haha. oh wait, how does a marine motor get cooled???? :)

    • Ryandavis33:

      can i take a motor out of an old truck and pop it in a boat?

    • Veikra:

      @firehawk400 No it’s not. try to find where the distributor goes on a 8.1L. totally different engine and casting. The 8.1l replaces the 7.4l. Just like the 5.3 replaced the old 5.7

    • Veikra:

      @Ryandavis33 fuel gauge? I thought that was the countdown till you can floor it….10…9….8

    • stdavross666:

      @sleman22 yes this is standard practice for marine engines. They suck seawater for cooling via a heat exchanger then the water goes into the exhaust to dampen the sound of the motor as these motors do not have mufflers unlike a car as you can hear. its a beast.

    • markeyjames22:

      @firehawk400 It’s a 496

    • kwaky2005:

      @michiganmotorz2008 What about bore and stroke and bore angle? Meaning the degree’s of angle in the V? is this all updated to a completely different block?

    • michiganmotorz2008:

      @kwaky2005 Good Question! Bore/Stroke 4.25×4.37(108 x 11 mm). Bore Center 122.94 mm, Bore Area 732.19 cm

      The bass line of that engine is incredible, I love the cam lope. Could you imagine that with a 3 litre Whipple Roots? :)

    • 1bad99cat:
