I was recently gifted the engine in question and need some guidance. The lower unit has a crack, more than likely freeze damage, it was "repaired" but will need to be redone. I need to pull the lower unit and find out what the internals look like because it had hardly any oil in it when i pulled the plugs. It also isnt shifting freely from neutral to reverse or forward and when turning the prop shaft by hand with no prop i am getting resistance at a single point in the rotation.
This foot may be a mess but im hoping to save it. The topside of the engine looks really good and turns freely so if need be Ill find a replacement foot. There in lies my other issues, what years will work for transplant and what gear ratio do I have? I am going to go ahead and order a shop manual but Im hoping yall can point me in the right direction.
Thank you all for taking the time to read through my predicament.
