Avant Salvage can set you up with a used 6.5 TD long block with low compression pistons for I think about $2800.00 It has a warranty. Peninsulars conversion kit I am guessing at $5000? Used Bravo outdrive $2000-$2500. Assuming all work done by owner, total cost @ $10K. Could be alot less if you source your own block, have the machine work done, low comp pistons, etc. You could also source a Cummins out of a wreck. Ebay all the non-marine bits, bolt on the marine stuff, then the used Bravo, etc. There are deals to be had. Buying new when it comes to repowering older boats is simply not cost effective. RT
