This engine has two bad habits: starting easily and running strong.
Pulled from a boat, not from a swamp or a mystery shed.
The good stuff:
✔ OMC 5.8 Windsor / Ford 351
✔ 530 hours (barely middle-aged in boat years)
✔ Closed cooling system – saltwater friendly
✔ Starts easy, runs great
✔ Out of the boat and ready to load
✔ Ideal repower for OMC Cobra setups
No smoke shows, no scary noises, no “it ran when parked” stories. It’s sitting there patiently, wondering what boat it’s going in next.
I just did a compression check results are starboard side is 140 130 130 130 port side 140 130 140 130 on a cold engine Includes shift/throttle controls and cables
