Default New Merc DOHC crate motor
It appears Mercury Marine has adapted its giant DOHC boat motor for street rod use. The article is pretty old but I don't recall it being posted here.... perhaps I missed it.

Bob,

A group of us were up in Fond du Lac and visited MMR. We saw one of these beasts being built. But the trick one is the DOHC heads MMR displayed for the LSx block. That could be a worthy sub for the LT-5.
