That's interesting! I have a lot of miles under my belt driving an MCI with an 8V-92 engine. It was a brand new, out of the crate engine that replaced an 8V-71 after it went down on me in Colorado. I knew that those engines were also used in marine applications, but I never knew that they were a different version than the coach version. I wonder what the differences were?
