I'm looking on ebay as well as various vendors websites.
so far the promising listings turn out to be "not in stock" - every last d*** one of them.
1. How can I find out what is included with long block assembly 8m0101212 ? quoted prices range from 5300 to 5800 .
are there merc catalogs online that have full assebmlies, not just part breakdowns?
I'm asking because of conflicting stories :
one dealer says all 8m0101212 needs is exhaust and cooling & pulleys, and another says it needs all that AND manifold, ecm, wiring harness and ignition - in both cases
no pulleys cooling or fuel parts are included - how can I find the truth? 5800 is way too much for a long block just because it came from mercruiser.
2. Does anyone know of a dealer who would actually stock a complete, new 4.3 or is this impossible now? how about a new, complete mercruiser reman';d and warrantied 4.3 ?
3. If I really go nuts and stick a new 4.5 in, (12 to 16K!!!) will i need all new controls, or is there a 10 pin (old end) to 14 pin adapter (engine side)?
thanks again for all your wisdom. You are helping me keep my sanity here.
