So I picked up a 1982 70hp for cheap about a month ago that needed some things finished to make it run good. My question is that I currently have a 1986 50hp on my 1980 16' Starcraft but I want to try to squeeze some more power out of it by rebuilding the carbs from the 70 and putting the carbs and reeds onto the 50hp. Only concern I have is that the '82 70hp is a slightly different motor being it is a blind head motor and the '86 not, does anyone know if the carb would fit on this? Thank you

And I thought both of those do not have a " cylinder head" as such ?
