Any views on this engine?
Likely to be noisy?

It's got a v6 growl when you open it up, but at cruising speeds it quietens down. There's a mid range growl but it quitens off after that. Bit like a car, roars on acceleration but quiet ambling along. All relative.

True, forgot to add that, great engine. We have 175 which is the same block.
