Gee with the price of boats these days it’s almost worth it to buy a boat with a newer diesel in it ... pull the diesel and swap to outboard power and resell. But that would mostly work for a smaller boat (e.g. C&C 27 or 30 using a Catalina 27 as a donor).
Otherwise, a vote here for Moyer to obtain the parts needed. If his carb, manifold, fuel pump, starter, etc. are in good condition it’s $4800 for a new aftermarket short-block and head or $3500 for a used short-block and head. The mechanically inclined could re-assemble from there themselves. I wish I had gone that route instead of the local-shop rebuild.

They are based on Kubota blocks. I lucked out and got a very nice A4 that had been rebuilt as a project by an engineering officer for $1500 on Craigslist. I bought it within about 45 minutes of the ad going up.

I know the previous owner of my 35 MKII after several (4) disappointments with A4 replacement engines or heads took the plunge and so I ended up getting a 35MKII with a diesel already installed and that little 4 cylinder has lots of power for the boat and runs quiet and smooth as silk…he also changed to the H5 Autoprop when he installed the diesel…that’s a really good combo…It does require a significant expense to do the job, but why not, especially if ones intends to keep the boat, you never regret having a could auxiliary propulsion system -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Josh Muckley Sent: January 29, 2014 8:14 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Atomic 4 I know he's looking for an Atomic 4 but I thought he might find value in converting to diesel. http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=221361267650&globalID=EBAY-MOTOR http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=131102768897&globalID=EBAY-MOTOR Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk Solomons, MD On Jan 28, 2014 5:57 PM, "Aaron Rouhi" <admiralmag...@outlook.com> wrote: My good friend just lost his Atomic 4 on a 35-2 (cracked head and other major issues).
