It's a shame I would like to see KE back in business. I was seriously thinking of getting the 675's for the fountain at last years miami boat show. Now with everything so messed up. It would not be a concideration.

or maybe "repo675's"

Obviously I'm going to keep my 575's and I hope I don't have to have them worked on tomorrow, next week and next year.

They had to work on them yesterday, last week and last year. Maybe they will be alright now.

I do like the way they look and sound.

They do sound pretty mean considering how mild they really are for a blower motor

going back to the origonal question. The 575sci are efi and that is DAMN nice. And they can make the same power with minimal modifications. And the efi idles so damn smoothly even when modified fires right up no surge just nice smooth easy running liek a top.

My engines are basically 575's with carbs instead of injection. They should dyno around 650/ea.

The 575 can make 650 no sweat.

$20k - 25k each should get you there! Blower motors are much quieter around the dock and use less aggressive cams. The also idle at lower RPM's as a general rule.

Blower motors are not tempermental if the proper blower is used (stick with the weiand 256) and the engine is built for it (low compression).

Contact Fowler engines:

Tell them you want a set of "Bob's" new engines.
