chrysler marine 318 motors

[belvedere 67]

I recently bought a guy out that had a shed full of engines and parts. He had 2 marine 318s. They are disassembled but i believe all the parts are there. Are these worth anything?

The rare aluminum ones are worth a bunch

There are cast iron blocks and heads.

They built one in a mid-late 70's
on Steve Dolsiche's (spell) Chrysler Marine 318cid
Chrysler Jet drive Boat
on IIRC Roadkill Garage

no idea differences or values

the inboard 318/LA exhaust manifolds/water-cooled
are "allegedly" extremely hard to find

so is the Chrysler Jet drive & I/O drives

In 1969, I bought a new Superbee. That same summer, my girlfriend's (now, wife), dad replaced the old Ford Y-block in his ChisCraft with a new Chrysler Marine 318. I remember the sharply angled intake with a 4 barrel on it. Along with the owners and warranty paperwork that came with the motor purchase, were included a pair of stickers, if one wanted to put them on their boat. They resembled the Superbee decal on the rear flanks of my car, except the Bee was riding a surf board instead of spinning his tires. The stickers were given to me, but I don't remember what became of them.

It depends on whether they came from a prop, I/O or Jet. Reverse rotation wouldn't be fun to find after thinking about using it in a car.
