534 general specs

[jauguston]

Hi guys.

I just joined and am trying to help a friend get some general information on a 534 Seamaster marine engine. It would be more than I could hope for to get any information on the marine version but we can hope. Otherwise info on the truck engine would be helpful. I worked on these engines as a mechanic in a Ford dealer in the mid 60's but I don't have any info on them.

The kinds of things like horsepower and maximum rpm would help as well as what it weights. It may go into a 1927 triple cockpit classic runabout that is being restored. The original engine is a huge 6 cylinder and is not repairable.

Any help or leads to information will be greatly appreciated.

Check the post, "534 vs Everyone else." I think there was mention of Seamaster there. You might also check posts by "admiralturbo" I believe he has discussed that engine a few times. Hope you find something, I'm sure that motor has been talked about in this forum before.

manglass,

I looked at his posts and found some useful informaton. One thing I haven't found yet is what it weights, either the truck version or hopefully the Seamaster version.

Thanks for the help.

I don't know specifically but weight of the truck version is usually said to be about 1,000 lb. Add for the turbocharger, plumbing, and marine exhaust manifolds. Pretty heavy.

Thanks guys. The reason for considering this engine is we have a low hour one available for zip-zero-nada!!
