    LM 318 , For Sale?

    I have a '71 LM 318. I just pulled it from a boat I have owned for 5 years. It ran when I bought it but not since. Is there a market for it? It is not going back into the boat. I have no use for it.

    BMW D190 Riser/Exhaust Elbow Design

    Tried posting on the BMW Marine Diesel forum but it is pretty much dead so I will try here. I just bought the engine but missing the riser after the turbo. Looked at replacements but the design is confusing to this "closed loop cooling" noobie. In the picture the flange end of the pipe bolts to...

    D190 Riser/Exhaust Elbow

    Went and bought the engine in Houston but no riser/exhaust elbow. Can buy an OEM one from Germany for $1456 delivered. That probably will not happen. I can have a stainless steel one made for $200. Big question about design. The flange end of the riser bolts to the turbo. The raw water from the...

    BMW D190Z on Craigslist

    Have an opportunity to buy the engine. 165 HP. It is closed loop cooled. What is needed to complete the "loop"? Currently have a a 225 hp Chrysler Marine gasser hooked to a Volvo Penta outdrive, raw water cooled. Can a sterndrive be mated to this engine? I have no experience with closed loop...

    Gear Ratio

    I am trying to determine the best prop for my boat. It is a "71 LM318 with a Volvo 250 or 270 sterndrive. Can anyone tell me the gear ratio? I have found a prop size calculator from Vic Prop in Canada and gear ratio is part of the calculation. I have a 200 manual and it says the ratio is 1.59:1...

    How Many CCA?

    '71 Chrysler LM 318. Wal Mart lists batteries from 500 CCA to 800 CCA for a '71 Dodge 318! I'll guess that 500 is the minimum and anything above that gives you more cranking time? Looking for the battery size others are using.

    Fuel Pump '71 LM318 Fuel Flow Direction?

    Okay, this one doesn't sound right. Fuel pump (mechanical) is located starboard side, forward on the engine. I removed the pump about a year ago. I do not remember which was the inlet or outlet. The barbed tube (5/16") is on the aft side of the pump pointing aft. I assumed this tube was the...

    Look what I found, a Distributor.

    In my boat is a "71 LM318(A?B?C?), standard distributor (with points). While cleaning the engine compartment I found a distributor setting on top of the fuel tank just forward of the engine compartment. It is not new, it is used. I was not familiar with this type of distributor so I researched...

    '71 LM 318 225 Superbee with a Volvo AQ 200 or what?

    Trying to get a positive ID on my outdrive. Unfortunately the tag near the helmet is unreadable. I found an ID chart with dozens of Volvo outdrive drawings. The AQ200, AQ250 and AQ270 outdrives look exactly the same to my eye. Only difference I saw was gear ratios. How can I ID my outdrive to...

    "71 LM 318 Fuel Consumption Chart

    Engine is in a 28' reverse (cupped?) chine hull. Boat is still in the restoration stage so I haven't floated it yet. Does anyone have a RPM/GPH chart for this engine? I want to get an idea of where it's sweet spot may be. I am looking for the lowest fuel consumption at a reasonable (trawler) speed.
