    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:

  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

Wanted , Ford Lehman Turbo Intercooler housing for the SP225 Or SP275.
 
Good luck, I understand that it isn’t available anymore. I have SP225s in my boat. Brian at American Diesel told me if it went bad my best solution was to bypass it and my 225 would then be 180 hp.
 
They are just an air/water intercooler, right? There are so many in the automotive world. Why can’t one be made to work on the Lehman?
 
I suppose one could be made , bit there is not very much of a need and would take quite a bit of effort. Might be soon though.
 
What is wrong with the original? If housing is corroded, it can get a weld build up and machined to original dimensions.

If core is leaking, leaky tubes can be plugged.

I think i ruined it soaking if rydlyme, to get the core out, but working on puting sleeves in it. let me know if you hear of one available please.
Thanks,

Still looking for an intercooler housing ??? SP275 Ford Lehman 1981-1992.
 
iNTERCOOLER

I am in Terra Linda, and have a trawler with Ford Lehman 225hp turbos. I need the aftercooler (same as intercooler?), did you have any luck locating one? If not what did you do? Thanks.

I just bypassed mine. They are not bad but I didn’t want to take the chance to have them leak water into the engine without my knowing. It is very easy to do. You just have to remove the hose going into the front of the intercooler and the one at the rear an run a hose between the 2 pipes so water can flow around the intercooler. I cut the ends of the pipes off since I could get a better fit for the hose. I used 1 1/8” hose. I ran the hose over the intercooler housing and used one of the bolts going into the housing for a cushion clamp to secure the hose. In the photos that show the front and rear pipes I cut them on a vertical part before they have the bend and the larger part of the pipes. You can see the pipe cutter in one photo. Per Brian at American Diesel, the Lehman guru, you end up with a 180 hp engine and you do not have to make any changes to the injection pump or anything else.

I have operated mine for several years that way, selling and hope to clean it up and make it right. Not so easy. Thanks.

Do you need the intercooler core, or the Intercooler Housing?
Lancing Marine has Cores, not sure where to get a housing, i have a extra bad housing though.

They are not available anymore unless you can find a used one. As a precaution I bypassed mine since I don’t know what condition they are in. So I now have 180 hp engines. It is simple to do. Just hook a hose from the front of the intercooler to the back of the intercooler. I actually cut the last 2” of the input and output pipes. Then connected them with 1 1/8” hose across the top of the intercooler.
 
I did the same, but am selling and want to make it right. My search confirms they are not avialable and I cannot even find a used one.
