    Sounds like it was a modified forklift motor - they were non-jet valve heads. The cam profile on that would be interesting as well. Post some pics - we like pics, and would like to see other applications of the G54. Welcome to the forum!

    +1 on that theory. A boat builder wouldn't go through a car dealership for an engine - it would be extortionistically expensive. But the forklift cam profile would be awful (I would expect it to only operate in a very limited rpm range)

    It does show the forklift camshaft OEM part# being different (MD023150) vs Mighty Max (MD023151)
