Yup,,,a good 350 Chevy V-8 probably fitted with a Rochester Quadrajet 4 barrel carburetor. Treat her right and you two will be together for a long time

Hey all , Was given a 97 fourwinns Horizon 180 with only 450 hrs on it. Boat is super clean. It has the VP Omc/Cobra 5.7 l GL engine in it. Question is would that engine be a fuel injected or a carb engine? I'm not a gear head so i'm not really sure. How would I be able to tell. Thanks for any info |

The GL is a carb engine. All fuel injected engines have an i at the end |

If you cant tell by looking at the intake, pull the breather and see if you have 2 or 4 barrels in the gun. My old carb 5.7 was a 2bbl - either way you have a good setup for sure....and no, you can't just swap a 2bbl for a 4bbl. Throw up some picks....actually never have seen a 5.7 n a 180.....not saying they didn't put em in there. |

Thanks for all the info. I would love to post a pic if i could figure out how to post one. I have been trying but to no prevail. Everyone has told me that it is rare to have a 5.7 gl in a 180. Well it should be able to pull a couple tubers pretty easy. haha I will post a pic once i figure out the codes. Thanks again all. |

That boat should move!!! I had an injected 5.0 in my Crown 182, It would go 62, but not much of a hole shot..... Nice boat, welcome to the forum! |

As you can tell from the above comments, you have quite a boat. Don't even think of selling it before you ask us here first if we might want it. A 180 with a 5.7 is RARE and will be a BLAST to have. Enjoy! |

Check out the specs from FW. http://assets3.fourwinnsmarketing.com/past_product/specs/1997/05%20Horizon%20RS%20(p16-19).pdf I'm surprised top speed is only 51. Do you know which 5.7 you have? |
