: Being a long time MG/Austin Healey car owner, I have a spare BMC (British Motor Corporation) 1275cc 4 cylinder engine I'd like to build a small mahogany runabout around. I'm looking for a marine manifold for this engine, or any information about it's use in marine applications. I've been told that they were used in the U.K., possibly in more work style boats. Austin Healey also produced a small number of boats using a larger version of a very similar engine. Any help or info would be much appreciated.
Waste a classic car engine ina boat? Why not sell it to a carr buff at a high $ and buy a marine engine?
