You get an 84 Xfire and pull the motor, then put one of these in there. The 84s were 3200lbs wet, and now you throw in an aluminum block although the heads will reclaim some of the weight savings.

Very interesting and BIG news for sure. The DOHC motorboat engine rises again.

I have always wanted a reason to buy a C5 FRC, Looks like Mercury just gave a reason. 2004 Z06/ZR-1 Commemorative edition.

I'm not sure it would fit the engine compartment. It is now as wide as an LT5. But, if it does it would be awesome.
