Selecting the Correct Model of Marine Engine for Beginners and/or Novice Boaters
There’s no shame in finding it difficult to distinguish one model 454 Marine Engine from another. Over the years the various marine manufacturers have changed both V6 and V8 engine models so many times it can be difficult even for Marine Engine distributors to properly identify the correct engine model for a customer. Typically, verifying the Engine Casting Number (link to block casting number location) along with the Cylinder Head Casting Number (link to head casting number location) is the best way to identify your Marine Engine correctly. Providing customers with solutions is where PPT stands above the other Marine Engine suppliers in providing technical assistance and information to help you properly determine the correct motor model for your application.
