Anyone ever use one of these engines in their Mercruiser?
There is not a Harmonic Balancer & Flywheel included. So there's a cost.
The only change (that I can see) would be to pull the steel freeze plugs and install brass.
Then just build up with marine-rated components.
Of course, this is a vortec engine. So you must have the correct belhousing and sterndrive parts.
But I plan to re-do everything in my boat. So I can just replace as needed.
For $2,000.00 delivered. How can you go wrong? New GM/Chevy 290 HP 350.
Thoughts?
