6 Cylinder Mercury Engines For Sale

[mike ross]

Anybody looking for some 6 cylinder Mercury stuff. I have this one in the picture and a power head. Make me an offer I cant refuse. Motors are in the Detroit Metro area

[mike ross]

Looks like these will be scrapped out. I thought I might have someone thinking about building one of these 6 cylinder screamers.

Mike don't scrap them yet, you just posted yesterday and most of the mod guys are in Jesup and most likely not see this post until they get home

[ZUL8TR]

And there are six pistons and rods in there...

Forgive my ignorance, are these Mark 75's, 78's, Merc 700's?

[mike ross]

Jeff I am not sure I will go look and see if I can get some more info. The one is just a power head

[ctpdsr]

Photo looks like a Merc 700 shifter. (66 CID).

If it has 6 intake port covers its a 60" Mark 75, unless it is a really rare 3 port cover replacement block. The 3 intake port cover blocks are 66" Mark 78's.

which one is the best for a racing engine?

[ctpdsr]

Not sure of any value to a racer. Best bet would be a guy into restoring this type of motor. The "tower of power" has a few dedicated fans, but the list is short vs. 2 & 4 cylinder stuff given the size of the beast. The wildcard will be if the crank is any good. Barn finds like this tend to have rust pitting the bearing surfaces.

Mike,

The 60" (Six port covers) Mark 75 engine is the legal Formula E engine. The 66" engine is only legal in 1100 due to it's displacement. The D Mod guys may be interested in the pistons and rods (Small wrist pin) in the mark 78, and sell the crank online individually.
Big picture: ZUL8R did the best thing for you by posting on some collector sites. That is probably the best opportunity there to sell it.
