Dont know the year of boat, my best guess is a 68 starchief, it has had its cabin removed though.
The drive is one of the old mercruiser ones with the eye bolt hole on the top of the cover
Engine im thinking is to be a 470, but heres where it gets wierd.
Looking at pictures of other 470s, this one looks different as the cooling system is not closed. After scratching 5 layers of paint off the block, im certain its NOT aluminum. It has a mopar FE 134 oil filter on it (that it popped btw) and the block has "HECHO EN MEXICO GM 27700" cast into it.
So what in the world is this thing!!??
I cant find a real serial number on block aside from a mercruiser tag with 6318263 on it, which makes it an 83 vintage 470, but it doesnt look like one
Anyways, pictures to follow
Thanks
