Ford Industrial is Dearborn. I've never heard of Red Line. They must
have been a minority player.
Crusader, Pleasurecraft, Indmar, Holman-Moody, Palmer, Thermo Electron,
Interceptor, Commander, Waukesha, Kiekhaefer Aeromarine, now those are
Ford Industrial marine customers/builders. And of course, Mercruiser,
OMC, & Volvo-Penta outnumber the others in Ford 351 marine usage.
It was up to each marinization firm to specify pulleys & all accessories
for their application to the basic Ford industrial engine. Had nothing
to do with Ford, they pretty much supplied either a standard or HO
engine(usually 2 bbl. vs. 4bbl.), Std. or Rev. rotation.

Red Line Marine was the distributor for Ford the marinized 351W for most of
the industry from what I understand.
