1973 Browning Marine

There is a version of the 4.3 liter v-6 automobile engine with a turbo charger. I think they were installed in The Typhoon/Cyclone. Has anyone been able to do this with a marine version of this particular v-6? I think I remember reading that the turbo version makes up to 280 horsepower which would be within the constraints of an alpha one drive. I also understand that the 4.3 liter would have to be of marine specs. and not an automobile version. Also, is there a big difference in the auto cam and marine cam in the 4.3s? I know there are also different pistons and freeze plugs (brass) and gaskets for marine applications etc.,etc. Buick also made one hell of a turbo v-6 in the Grand Nationals but it puts out way to much horsepower for the Alpha One. What do you guys think about the 4.3 turbo version in an 18 foot boat? (And is it possible?) Just dreamin, Tom
