Depends on what size you are after. Had trouble with exhaust manifolds cracking on the 6 cyl  260hp ?, found out it was a common fault.

Mate ran a 800hp V8 in his crayboat with good results and economy.

 

edit  For those that don't know, IVECO is another name for FIAT which doesn't always stand for "Fïx It Again Tony
