Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

Probably out of a boat if it's in Warrenton. Do your diligence on whether a marine application engine will work with a standard cooling system.

It might be a 2-71 but it is a DD with 12v electric start.

We strip off the welder, frame and hood and put it on a pallet with the radiator.  You arrange a trusted international shipping company and they come pick up the pallet.  The shipper needs a bill of sale legal to Mexico and Jabber Inc in the states plans on paying a small import tax to Uncle Sam on an "antique engine".

Money makes stuff cross the border.  The shipping company will tell you how much.

It is a 2-53 and was sleeved with new rings and injectors.  Runs good and the boss wants to make a video of that soon.

A PM is outgoing.
