Tiara Open Engine Make
#1
I have a 1996 Tiara Open with a gas powered 454 Crusader 7.4 MPI Engine.   It is my first year with the boat and i am starting to winterize and called to get oil and filter spec.  Marine west asked me if the engine block is a chevy or a ford. how do I determine what blocks Crusader was using in 1996?   Plan on using Rotella 15W40 oil.  Appreciate any other advice on anything special to winterize (drain water, blow out lines, etc all on the list). Thanks.
