I just purchased a 1967 Mercruiser, and I am clueless about boats. I actually traded a computer for this boat. There are a couple of minor problems...but first I probably need to know the engine type. The guy I bought it from says it has a 180HP Chevy v6. How do I verify this, and how would I tell what make it is? Should I post pictures?

You might start by posting some overall pictures of the engine and outdrive. In 1967, there was no such thing as a V6 or even a 180 hp inline 6,
Really hard to say what you have.
