My thanks to the folks on this site, I have begun swapping out the old 2 bbl rochester to a 4 bbl Merc Weber/carter Edelbrock carb 9600.
The reason for the swap was oil mixing in the antifreeze. There was a leak in the intake manifold gasket. I figured this would be a good time to add a few extra hp.
Most All parts were purchased on ebay motors and was from a used 1996 Merc 4.3xl. The used manifold and carb were in excellent condition.
intake manifold and carburetor: $180.00
Flame arrestor: $30.00
new intake gaskets: $37.00
Shipping $57.00
Total project: $304.00
Project is not complete yet. check out the picks so far.
