Thats a water cooled boat motor (The M stands for Marine on the motor), I don't think they will use that for a future ACR

Shyt man...you got my hopes up

Addtionally marine motors do NOT have to meet any emissions specs at this time.

Yepper that is the same boat motor they have been producing.

I think the extra hp comes from the fact it has no emissions, less accessories to drive and that it has an inexhaustable supply of coolant.

Actually this setup has a Fresh Water Cooling (FWC) setup on the front there. I would love to have two of these in my boat instead of the 7.4 Mercs...

This motor was written up in VIPER MAGAZINE several MONTHS ago......

The cooling system is a closed cooling system that uses lake water to cool a heat exchange. The engine does not run flow through, it runs radiator temps. If I am correct the cam changes are for duration that doesn't allow water reversion from the wet headers. I can tell you they sound great on the water. I still believe Ilmor could give back some of their computer mods to us street guys.

Don't look like "wet headers" to me. The engine in the picture has dry exhaust and is using the traditional cooling system.

Looks like a boat engine to me

It is boat engine with dry exhaust meant for racing only. All high performance pleasure boats require wet exhaust systems. I find it interesting that Ilmore has been able to produce this marine engine with a HEAT EXCHANGER CLOSED COOLING SYSTEM something that Mercuriser says can not be done.

I have spoken to Ilmore guys at our Poker Run.This motor is very under rated and even de tuned sum what because it keeps blowing Bravo drives with all its torque.It has only been able to work with number 6 drives.He did say however not to count dodge out of the horsepower wars and left it at that.

 

[Racer Robbie]

not surprissing as mercuriser drives are junk

Ilmor teamed up with Bob Teague for his Platinum drive for now. What they need to do is go for 800hp and team with Imco.
