Dave,
You recently commented on the Swedish industrial use of 427 engines, etc., and dropped a reference I had not seen earlier, but read with great interest. The reference is:

1964 is the first year of the new fiberglass CC Commander 38' boat, which was built and shipped under great secrecy and unvieled at the NY boat show, much to the amazement and shock of the boating public as well as CC dealers. The boat, and the 427 engine eventually crossed paths, and both became milestones. The 427 wasnt used in a CC boat until 1966, I believe.
I'm very interested in the partial article you shared with us, and anything else you know about the 1964 season, Eaton Marine, etc. Here's one for you (see below).
This is a 400 HP Higgins prepared by Eaton Dearborn Marine (it's a 390!!) and the guy swapped out for the aluminum heads, but guess what, it didn't run as well with the new heads, as it did with the original equipment. Don't know just why.
Any info you can shed on the Eaton marine engines, marine FE's in general, would be great and appreciated.
thx, P |
