It is big and heavy for sure. haha Even though it has a lot of bore spacing the water jackets are right there. This engine was built with water jackets big enough to stick your hand in! Darn motor holds like 10 gallons of water! haha It is strong for sure. Good motor when it runs well but can be a bit of a pain if you've never worked on one.
