Any boatfags on this board? A longshot i know but i'm wondering

It depends on the transmission and/or bellhouse adapter.

But it is very doable.

>>17332402
I'm absolutely fine if a bellhousing can be fabricated, i just want to make sure there's no funky doodad that would stop a traditional flywheel/clutch coupling.
I know a lot of the older Mercury Marine engines can be done but this is a brand new engine or something.

Bump

No experience here but a marine diesel in a car sounds rad

>Mercury buys its engines from VW.

>>17332498
VW doesn't make marine engines anymore IIRC.

>>17332504
They absolutely do, anon.

>>17332516
I'm not finding any solid leads for North American retailers.
I don't care what badge sits on the engine, i just want a V6 turbo diesel.

Unfortunately it has to be a marine engine because RR engines spin counter clockwise, exactly like marine engines.

Hyundai makes a 3.0 Diesel v6 for marine use

>>17332551
>Hyundai
Is that really wise?

>>17332561
You're putting a diesel V6 in the back of a Porsche, and you're questioning other people's wisdom?

>>17332570
Fair enough. I wish i could find parts diagrams for marine engines. I wonder where boaters get their information.

Hyundai is really good at making turbo engines, even their gas ones are impressive

but /o/ is gonna hate them no matter what they do

>>17332651
Its becuase the car around them falls apart before you can even drive the fucker.

>>17332979
Are you sure you aren't thinking of fiat crystler?

>>17332344
Literally why, Mercury make shittier engines VAG

>>17333007
I'm not as versed on marine engines as i am car engines.

>>17333098
They're called black anchors for a reason. Use a Yanmar or Scania engine, although expect to pay the price of a car for one brand new. Oh and they also weigh about as much as a car as well.

That's exactly why i won't be using those then.

>>17334914
Spoiler alert, that's the case for all marine diesels

They have factory service manuals for them but you are going to have to send an email or make a call to buy one if you can't find a free copy online.

You won't even really use it much seeing as you'll have to ghetto rig a new cooling system as marine inboard engines mostly have heat exchangers between saltwater and coolant rather than radiators. Not really difficult but if you want to keep the shape of the Porsche, which you have failed with the height of the engine already, you would probably have to stick it up front.

Then there's the weight of it. Suspension might bottom out under the load alone.

My uncle used to have a boat. He sold it.
