I've been working on my boat off and on for over a year and the wife is getting antsy. I had to rebuild the heads on my Mercruiser 5.0 as the exhaust elbows leaked and locked up a couple of valves. I was going to reinstall the cast iron intake but it's pretty corroded as the boat is in saltwater all of the time. Can I just get an aluminum Chevy shortblock manifold for the motor? Money is short - whose isn't? I'm just trying to get the boat up and running for summer. Also, for saltwater, are there better or less affordable options for the exhaust elbows?
Thanks for the help.
