    Thoughts on New Gen Direct Injected VP 5.3L v8 350HP?

    If it's an actual LT based DI engine I'm already leery of it. Dunno if they've worked the bugs out but I watched my neighbor not get to drive has later model truck with one of those engines because it was constantly at the dealer. Was a brand new truck.

    Replacing ignition on old 165hp GM inline-6

    I dropped a Merc 292 in place of the locked up 250 (165) in my old Crestliner. I put one of these in it just to clean things up a bit while getting away from points...

    HELP Throttle and Steering Cable Lengths

    Do you still have the originals? If so you can get the part number off of them or just pull them and measure. If not there are online guides to help you figure out the measurement.

    your opinion

    Either rebuild as a stroker or pick up a stroker short or long block. Closed loop cooling systems have been around forever. Considering the year you have, you can probably order the parts needed.

    Experience Loopers

    Minimum GPS/chartplotter and a reliable depth finder. Nice to have, radar & AIS (especially where the larger commercial traffic is, they can see you better if you are transmitting via AIS).

    2001 mercury 125 2+2

    Start looking at your fuel system. Make sure your suction point and/or ADBV aren't clogged solid or stuck. Inline filter if you have one. As stupid as this sounds, primer bulb in correct orientation (seen it happen, I dunno how anything ran with it backwards). Any work recently done?
