Lot of them old dinosaurs have went to the scrap yard. Go to Facebook Strictly OMC as some of the old timers may part with one. Certain parts are scarce. If you want 300 HP buy new as they are lighter than the V-8

Many parts are NLA. May be easier finding EFI parts for a Ford powered Mid 90s OMC IO than parts for one of the old Johnnyrude V8s

But if you want one to show it off they are available.-----If you have the time and ability to work on it will be a fun project.

i wanna swap it into a car or some vehicle that could benefit from some 2 stroke madness

The issue with a 2-stroke in a car, is that when you decelerate in traffic, you loose fuel flow, therefore loosing lubrication.

that is what killed the Saab Sonnett.

a few of them have been put into cars, however none are really viable vehicles as they all have issues.

I say, if you can overcome the issues that plagued the datsun wagon and the volvo swaps, go for it.

Me personally, I would go for a destroked and flat crank LS spinning 10,000 RPM

On outboards the throttle plate has calibrated openings.-----This lets the correct amount of air ( and fuel ) through.-----That way they can idle all day long with proper lubrication.----Timing is what controls idle RPM.

I seem to recall the inline 6 Mercury outboard used in midget race cars.

A Yamaha 4 stroke is stock in some 2008 Volvos. Nightmare from what I understand.
