Glenn,
Most of the parts will be available as aftermarket items and can be cross referenced to that model or to the individual part number. Having the original part numbers is usually a help when searching for parts. We offer some manuals if you need them.
Manifolds would probably be the hardest part to find for that engine.
What are you looking for?
Regards,
Andrew |

Try your local NAPA Store. They have an excellent Marine Cat. and given you have the year of engine, they should be able to help you out. Hint: Go to the oldest or most experienced counter guy, as these days the new generation of counter persons cant find wiper blades for your car unless you know year, make , model, engine sive and whether or not it has fuel injection, or a throttle body injection.

SteveR,
Is there a nameplate on the engine?
The plate should say Ford Interceptor. The nameplate should have a serial number, post it here and we can supply some other details. |

A Ford 289 is similar to a 302 and 351. THe 292/ 312 series of engines are ENTIRELY different animals.

If you have an 312 engine already I can help you with some parts for both the motor and the offset Dearbo transmission. If you look hard, you could find a complete engine on the net, I have seen them. If you do find one and plan on mixing your parts with the located motor be aware that the transmission came in four flavors, The Model A, B, C, and D. The Model A and B have the flywheel housing and transmission case as one piece. The Model A use engine oil and had no dipstick (the dual stage engine oil pump would by-pass engine oil to be used by the transmission which would then be returned to the oil pan. The Model B had a dipstick and used transmission fuild. The pump was part of the engine oil pump but the bottom half was sealed off from the top motor side. The Model C & D were almost the same. They had separate flywheel housing and transmission case and ran on trans fuild. The offset gear half had different gear ratios Make sure you get the correct ratio. If you can post a pictures of your unit I might be able to tell you what you have. It would help if you could get the serial number off the timing chain cover. |

I own a 57 Century Arabian. I need an engine and transmission overhaul. The boat has a 185 HP Interceptor engine #ECZ 6015-B. The Transmission has the number 1007-A on the side. May be a Dearborn A model) The transmission is fed from the crank case, no dip stick. Do you know the manufacturer of the transmission? Also, I am located in Austin Texas and need to find someone local (200 mi – Dallas – Houston) that can overhaul the engine and transmission. The engine has been running fine, but there is oil in the exhaust. The transmission is refusing to shift except at higher RPM’s. There is MUCK inside the engine and trans. Also, which manuals can I buy to get the engine and transmission?
Thanks

Birdstone,
According to your post, I must have a C or D model Dearbo transmission. Though mine is not drop style, it's straight. The question is where can I buy seals, etc? The boat is a 1964 Century resorter 15' with interceptor Ford. Last weekend while in reverse, a bolt holding the coupling to the output shaft on the trans. broke. I would like to replace the output shaft seal and any other seals I can. Source? |

Mike,
Your engine can be rebuilt by any good engine rebuilder. The engine number you posted is a Ford number not the engine number, which you should find stamped into the timing cover. The main issue they will have is with the oil pump. If the transmission oil side of the pump is bad you could buy two engine oil pumps for the motor and cut down the gears or rotor(Interceptor used both types) to use in your old pump. As per your transmission it was based on a Ford automotive type. Many of the parts are the same. Be sure that the trans shop you take it to uses metal sealing rings and not teflon for the forward piston cylinder cover. The weak part of the trans was this cover. The rings would cut groves in it when the trans was run out of alignment. I may have a cover some where in my gargage. I will look when time allows. Use paper clutch (thats what I call them) plates not bronze. The next problem you mey have is with the shift spool, I do have those if you's is bad. I'll take I look and see if I have any extra manuals. Interceptor made the transmission. I believe they sold everything they had on the transmission to a marine dealer in the Midwest when they started using Warner transmission.
Evan,
I'll look and see if I can get you some seal numbers. By the way, your engine is a INTERCEPTOR marine engine which used a Ford block. If your transmission has bigger problems then just the bolt you may look at converting to a Warner transmission. In your case it would require little work to covert, unlike Mike who would have to buy a new bell housing, cooler, and a new oil pump for the motor. If you think this is a good option, post that thought and I can make a list of items you would need and what problems to look out for.

Hector,
Thanks for the info!
I'd rather not convert, as the trans. seems to run fine. Can you post the marine dealer in the midwest that interceptor sold these dearbormatic parts to? Sounds like most of these parts are probobly Ford trans. parts. Is dearbormatic trans service covered in an interceptor marine manual?
Thanks,
Evan |

If your engine has 165 h.p. sticker on valve cover it is a 260 c.i. Same as mine in a resorter 15'} |

Hello everyone. I'm the new proud owner of a 1962 Correct Craft compact Skier. It's powered with a Ford Interceptor V-8. I see from the original CC brochure that these boats were available new with an 85 h.p. and a 100 h.p. engine. Can anyone tell me how to identify what I have? Is this maybe the Ford 260 cu.in. ? Thanks in advance for any and all information you can give me. |

I have a Ford Interceptor with 300 hp on the valve cover. It is in a 66 Century Coronado. the fuel pump developed leaks. A marine operator kitted it. I can't make the pump work. Is there some secret to getting them going. Do they need prime? |

I have a Dearbo Model A transmission with the off-set gears on the back. It's slow shifting into reverse. Had a very good Ford-A-Matic guy put in new bearings, clutches and seals. Still had the problem. Had the oil pump surfaces milled to the lowern end of the tolerances. Still slow. By-passed the transmission oil filter to see if it would make a difference. It didn't. I have a velvet drive, bell housing and cooler but it will reverse the shaft rotation, and I would just as soon keep it as stock as possible. Any suggestions? |

Bill,
First off what is your oil pressure going into the gear box? Secondly have you adjusted your reverse band according to the specs? If the reverse band is to loose the reverse solenoid piston has to travel further causing a delay, when you say its slow is it a second, two seconds, or what?
A one second delay is not abnormal for shifting into reverse.
What boat is this in? If its in a Century you definetly don't want to change the prop rotation. The shafts were offset to the rudder to compensate for offset thrust and reversing the rotation would cause for poor turning capabilities to the right. |

Dear all,
I have a '57 Dearborn
Interceptor Marine Engine 185 HP.Number 75879.
It is the heartbeat of a '57 custom swiss made runabout by Portier.
Of course I am in need of the already mentioned oilpump. Does somebody have such an oilpump or know where to get it?
I live in the Netherlands, I can arrange shipping from anywhere.
Please contact me if you have such an oil pump and want to sell it.

I have a 1957 Chris Craft Capri that I am trying to restore. The boat has been in my family since new and early in my life my father which has passed away replaced either or both the transmisson and gear box with another transmission. I have been trying to find the hull numbers to determine what the boat came with new. It currently has a bored 312 with side draft carbs. The motor was remounted and moved several inches forward in to the cokpit and the front of the engine was raised about 6 inches to line up the drive shaft. I would like to find and install the orginal tranmisson and gear box to get the engine back into the engine compartment I will attach a pick of what is currently in the boat. I also need a water punp for the 312

Neal,
Do you have a water pump that could be rebuilt? if so my dad and I could rebuild it for you as we have rebuilt the 5 for our 312's and a couple other peoples. As far as your transmission goes I would venture to say it oringinally had an dearborn C class with the offset reduction gear box which allowed for the engine to sit level in the boat (no need for a six inch lift in the front). These setups are hard to find as most people took them off when they started having problems and started to lose reverse, and most of them got thrown out. *if only they would have changed the oil in them regularly... If you are in search of this dearborn set up with the reduction gear box let me know I think there is a guy in Michigan that has one.
Also if you are going to rebuild your engine and need replacement decals I have them available.

Steve, No I do not have the water pump for the 312. It was replaced with a home made one. Yes I am intrested in contacting the person you mentioned about the transmission if you could forward the infromation to me here or at nmiller@charter.net when you get a chance. Lastly what is in the decal pack you mentioned and what are you asking for it? |

I have had several of you asking what the decals are that I have for the 312 so attached is a picture. I also have a decal set for a 285hp Interceptor that was in the 66 and 67 Century Arabians they are Black on Chrome. Any other decals can be recreated if you have a good picture and accurate deminsions.
Email me with questions.
