I just picked up an old boat that i want to restore. It has a mercruiser 120 stern drive unit with a 4 cylinder 120 hp engine that has a blown head gasket. Before i rip apart this engine i was wondering if i could drop a V8 onto this stern drive. will the bolts line up? will it be able to handle that power? anyone have any idea?

Nope,... It ain't that easy,... Sorry...

Short story is, remove everything down to the fiberglass, 'n replace it with the driveline of your choice....
