crankshaft interchange?

[j adam]

I have a 1996 mercruiser 3.0 alpa one gen 2 engine that needs a crankshaft, can't find one after a lot of looking and asking around. Will a crankshaft from an earlier model 3.0 interchange?

You need a crank that uses the 1 piece rear main seal . 1990 and up as Bond stated . Volvo Penta 3.0 is the same .
