" Hello to all. Looking to rep
" Hello to all. Looking to repower a 26 ft Silverton that was originally equiped with a Chrysler 318, 220 hp that was repowered some 7 years ago with a Merc 454, 330 hp. Both engines mated to a Paragon PV-33 V-drive, 2:1 ratio with a 1.25 shaft. Not sure of prop size. Can someone suggest a diesel engine that is more or less the same size in terms of height, length, and width. Since diesels produce more torque is it safe to assume that the hp does not have to be the same as it is now? Remember, she was originally equipped with a 220 hp motor. By the way, the 454 runs great but not fuel efficient. Even considering I am not a speed freak. Thanking all in advance. "
