I have a 20'1979 Sunray with a 351 cleveland.<br />Trying to find parts is somewhat touchy. What I am looking for is, What Car or truck can I use as reference when ordering parts that boat manu's no longer make. The reason is that I need a timing chain and gears.

BINGO... like Clanton said "What Drive & HP"!!!<br /><br />Go to knowledgeable Parts house have them look up your Drive Mfg, HP, engine as the Engine was built by Ford for Marine use... the parts are available but by putting in Mfg of boat & not outdrive you are slowing down the responses to your question. Will be glad to help with more info... awaiting your reply.<br /><br />fone_man

I have some parts manuals, if it is OMC I can find orig OMC number and sometimes cross it back to Ford or a number that NAPA can cross, or you can take the part to a great Ford parts person and they may be able to id it,
