I made a swap and got me a 135 strangler motor with no gearcase or carbs. I cannot find the serial number but I understand that they were produced from 1973 to 1975. I oiled it up and spun it over some then did a compression check, it was great. I then tested for spark, got spark on all 4, sprayed some gas in the intake and it fired right up. so basically I need a set of carbs, and would like to mount it onto a newer mid section that has power trim. If I can find a 1979 or newer 140, would the carbs work on it? also what would I have to do about a gearcase? I got a gearcase for a 79 and up V-4, but I think the splines might be different. can anyone point me in the right direction on a budget repair with easily accessible parts on this?? or is it just a paper weight?
