I have a 88 4winns with a 3.0 OMC cobra. It is pretty tired and only does about 32mph. I found a 4.3 l OMC for $400 on craigslist. My debate is to rebuild the 3.0 or swap it out. I don't know what all is involved in swapping it out.
I'm not afraid of anything, I had never touched a transmission before and 2yrs ago using you tube I rebuilt the transmission in my 04 Yukon Denali. Spent $500 including tools instead of the $3500-$5500 to have a shop do it. Two years later still going fine.
Anyway can anyone tell me just how much is involved? I'm wondering things such as motor mounts, would I have to change them out, shifter cables, I'm assuming not, etc. That would help me decide between rebuild vs new engine with more power, Thanks
