Can a chevy 350 crusader engine that has brass manifolds.coolers etc be used with a mercuiser outdrive? Or do you have to change out the manifolds?

Thanks Bond-O. That is what I figured. Guy had two chevy 350 crusaders for $500 for the pair.

I did a transplant with a crusader power pack engine which is made as a direct replacement for merc. If it is those there wont be that many problems at all if they are the same vintage. The one I got was basically a bolt in replacement for my merc.
