1000 HP Lamborghini Marine Engine!!!

[H2O]

Anyone care for a 1000 HP Lamborghini Marine Engine?

Quite a nice little piece of bling!

[DMOORE]

WOW. 19k for that motor is a steal. A stock rebuild on a 12 cylinder Lambo will run over 20k easily. That would be nice to put into a Countach or Diablo.

That has Trident's name all over it!:)

If you owned a Countach or Diablo, wouldn't it have one already..................

[Sleek-Jet]

19K... is that the retainer for the mechanic??? :D

[Misogynist]

19K... is that the retainer for the mechanic??? :D
Pretty close. I rebuilt an Aston Martin six cylinder that cost over 24 thousand . The block was corroded away from electrolysis and had to be replaced at the cost of 12 grand. That kind of blew the guys budget..... But he paid, he wanted to do the car up right. He later sold the car for over 200 k so he wasn't hurt.....:sqeyes:

[Pjones2]

Wonder if that price includes the Chilton's
manual?

[beyondhelpin]

Dollars or Euros?
Either way sounds to good to be true.

[Hallett19]

Never abused, ha..... I'd venture to say once you put a motor in a boat, its being abused, no matter how you drive it.
Good luck keeping that pig maintained. Once you get over the "wow" factor of having a Lamborghini V-12 in your ride, you then have to get over the fact that it is ugly and will break down all the time....no thanks, that thing will be hard to GIVE away.
Didnt Don Johnson have a Scarab with twin Lambo V-12's back in the day.... I dont know why or how I remember that:)

Just talked to a friend who has a 88 Countach and a 92 Diablo . You'd be looking closer to 60K [cdn that is] for a full rebuild ,according to him. That marine engine would be a steal if it was for real . Lots of scams going on out of europe . He was bidding on a late Deomaso Pantera [ has a 70's already ] and got a scam warning from ebay on it :idea: . Friend of mine had a Maserati Montreal V-8 engine kicking around in his hangar for a long time . He sold it to some guys who put it in a small open style ski boat . Would like to see that one day on the river somewhere .

[DMOORE]

If you owned a Countach or Diablo, wouldn't it have one already..................
Actually no. The Countach had a 5 ltr, then a 5.2 ltr. The Diablo had a 5.7 then a 6.0ltr. The motor in the ad is a 8.3ltr. BIG difference. There were a few LM002's ,which some shieks had 8lts installed in. Supposedly pretty insane.
BTW 25k is about the going rate for a 12cly lambo rebuild.

Ugly?
Uhhh, OK.

[Charley]

This is probably one of the motors out of the old reverie racing boat... it needs to be cheap cause that 19k is the tip of the iceberg when it fails ;) ... not saying it's a bad motor, just that all motors break :D

[77charger]

Rather put 20k into a big block chevy vs the lambo.Thing probably has to rev high to make some power to boot.

Okay, looks wise, do you like the Lambo V12 or a Ford 427 Cammer? I know its all a matter of opinion. I really like the gold marine Lambo motor in the photos, but the one that is actually in the boat... not a big fan.

Where the hell do you get the names for some of the cars and engines you are describing? I'm guessing you are talking about a DeTomaso Pantera... and Maserati never made an engine, nor a car called a Montreal. Alfa Romeo had a v-8 in a car called a Montreal. The only early V-8's put in Maseratis were the models called "Bora" and the later "Quatroporte".

But the problem with the Sohc and the lambo motor is they are both ORPHANS..... Parts are far and few between. If you think BBC speed parts are pricey... you don't want to know what custom made high buck euro parts cost.... yeeeesh...... Or way out of production American stuff.:mad:

There is a song I've been trying to find for 25 years. It was on an episode of Miami Vice. The lyrics went, "Won't you be my enemy... I'll be your enemy too."
Any MV fans here know?
I need to find that song. I've been racking my brain over this for 2.5 decades. Something's got to give soon or this whole thing is going to fade to black. http://www.***boat.com/ubb/mad.gif

If you were to put a badger, an eagle, and a cat into a small cage, which would survive? http://www.***boat.com/ubb/graemlins/idea_2.gif

[Jbb]

Houston...Tranquility Base here;
The Eagle has landed.....:D

[Tom Brown]

The Eagle has landed.....:D
You seem to insinuate the eagle would be victorious but what if the cage were too small to allow it to flap? http://www.***boat.com/ubb/graemlins/idea_2.gif

[Jbb]

Stop changing the rules ......The Eagle would win by using his talons....flapping be dammed.

[Tom Brown]

I feel the flapping is a key component of the eagle's offensive power.
... and don't rule out the cat. If you were to put a cat and a badger in the toilet, close the lid, and flush, that badger would be more sliced up than Greg Norman's back nine if he were missing his left arm.

A snarling,hissing wolverine ....would take them all out.....

If Lambo were to display at the LA boat show, do you suppose they'd chose to present in Kentia or South Hall?

[bubbletop409]

I believe that line came from "People who have died" by the Jim Carroll band.

As I always tell my customers......... bend over........ breathe easy... it won't hurt so much.....:devil: You don't want to know what parts cost for something really exotic like a Delahaye or a Delage. I once paid $750.00 for a USED ignition coil for a 1939 Delahaye 135 m. He had it... I needed it to finish the car. It was a weird Marchal coil with a glass body. You could look inside through the oil and see the windings. But after the customer paid over $1,000 for an engine turned firewall... $750 seemed like a bargain.

I stand corrected ! Alfa had the Montreal in 68 . Maserati also made a V-8 biturbo 4 door sedan.The engine in my pilot friend's hangar was a Maserati with 8 short velocity stacks as I remember .It was a few years ago ,I ain't getting any younger :idea: :D . Yes the DeTomaso is a Pantera ,that he had some special hemi heads milled out of billet ,somewhere in california for. My friend with these cars is nuts collecting ugly cars like the Countach ,:rolleyes: , maybe he isn't telling me he bought it to maybe reselling it at Barret Jackson , cause this is the anniversary model :idea: . He has a Hennessey Viper and picking up an ACR next week , so I don't see the love affair with Lambos. The only Lambo I like is a 68 Miura I was lucky to ride back in 1970.
Another guy I know built an identical car like this Bachetta with the Maserati V-8 . Few were made .He sold it to someone in Belgium . The car in the link looks exactly the same . Monty built the entire body out of aluminum . It was in many shows around here in vancouver until he sold it ca 6 years ago .http://bjornmaserati.tripod.com/masbachetta.html

Maserati Biturbos were V-6's not V-8's.. The name of the Maserati, although misspelled in the article heading is "barchetta"..... pronounced "bar-ketta". which in Italian means "little boat". Ferrari made a "Barchetta" back in the early 50's. Lamborghini made a model called a Muira...... but I've never heard of a Miura........ ok.... I'm just busting your balls about spelling now.....

[spectras only]

[QUOTE=Misogynist; Lamborghini made a model called a Muira...... but I've never heard of a Miura........ ok.... I'm just busting your balls about spelling now.....[/QUOTE]
maybe I just made this up , but I swear it was a Miura :idea: . I was in Italy in 1970 ,maybe the italians spelled it differently back in the old days :) :D .

[spectras only]

You're right ,that Biturbo was a V 6 , and a lousy one too. A photographer
customer of mine had one with a two door , and it spent most of its time in the garage being fixed;) . Luckily , he had a Fiat X1/9 [ another super reliable one:) ] for a back up :D .

[BiggusJimbus]

Maserati Kamsin, perhaps?
Ridden in one of those.
Way fast fun. Cool glass back panel.
Neat car.

Nope... trust me.... I've worked on enough Muiras to know how they are spelled.... They have got to be my all time favorite Lambo... Beautiful Bertone designed body, but stillborne mechanicals. Twin distributors and 4 weber IDA three throat carbs. When you look out the back window.... you are looking right across the carbs.( the engine is in sideways, which is a trick for a v-12) The joke was they designed the rear window that way so you could see which carb was on fire when it backfired, which they did quite a lot if not properly tuned.You have got to love the italian design though. The dash is a work of art. The spare tire protrudes into the dash board from the front, leaving a bulge under the windshield. ( It's mid engined ...... remember? ) The gas tank is up front right where it can rupture during an accident. If your going to go.... you might just as well go out flaming.

[spectras only]

Myso , there were 6 Barchettas built and only one Bachetta :idea: .
Remember , Monty [ the fellow I know ] only built one , and for obvious reasons he prolly couldn't call it a Barchetta .If I have a chance see him this weekend I'll ask if he's got some pictures of it. Get back to the Lambo , I spent 8 months in Italy , and I'm sure it is spelled Lamborghini MIURA :D

[spectras only]

There were 3 bikes built by a local [ Whiterock BC ] machinist with Vincent engines , but could never be called Vincents .This particular one was sold to Jay Leno , I wonder if he still has it . Anybody from this board seen his collection in person ?
