No, a marine engine is going to use corrosion resistant components in the cooling system and the freeze plugs. Also, the camshaft will be designed to meet the different power needs of a boat as compared to a car or truck. A car engine to run be used for the majority of the time at half or less of the RPM that it red lines at, where a marine engine is most likely going to be derated to run at "top speed" for the majority of the time which wil be well under the red line RPM of an automotiv engine.
