A debate my dad and I got into earlier today. I think it's possible to grab a 302 Windsor like the one from my '91 5.0 Mustang with a 3-speed manual and put it in a boat (currently has a 4.3L V6) and get efficiency gains along with more power when needed. Who is right? I know boats are mechanically different but Yea.
