New to boats but bought a project that came with a rebuilt engine. My 1975 SeaRay had 5.7L v8 that has a cracked block and the seller had purchased a rebuilt 5.0L to switch into it circa 1999. A few things have nto switch over like the mechanical fuel pump.
The rebuilt 5.0L came with a new flywheel which is about 1" larger in Diameter than the existing 5.7L. I assume the larger diameter will fit in the housing but was wondering if I have to use the new flywheel or if there is an advantage.
Using the new one probably means I can't use the old starter, although it might not bolt up quite right.
appreciate the help and any tips, I know most go from the 5.0L to the 5.7 but they sold the engine with the boat.
