Hi
Wondering if anyone can help......
I just pulled out my Mercruiser 305 2 bbl out of my 1995 Bayliner 2355 because of a cracked block. Prior to pulling out the engine, it was in great working order despite the crack. No water in the oil.
I'm now thinking of replacing my 305 (1994 - 1 piece rear seal ) with a 350 to get a little extra horsepower.
Correct me if I'm wrong, I understand that I can get a 350 long block and take all the tin off of my 305 on put it on the 350.
One of my concerns is the intake .......will the 305 intake fit on the 350?
If so, how would the 2 bbl carb perform on the 350 or would that even work?
Would it defeat the purpose? putting the 305 intake and carb on the 350.
Would it be simpler just sticking to a 305 instead.
Any input would be appreciated.....thanks.
