OK the 3.0 omc engine was swapped before i got the boat. So i dont know the year. Im tryin to identify that i have the correct engine year size etc.. when ordering parts. Ive tried searching the numbers on the block but am gettin no luck.
Heres the #s:
1. Raised letters on the block "14097080" then an inch over "48" then about another inch it has a "96"
2. On the intake it has raised #'s 3854045 H.O.

Also Stamped behind the distributor are the #'s "M02236RR"
The cylinder head has long reach spark plug threads and it has the est distributor. Not sure if the engine is a L or lx.

Theres alot of carbon on the spark plugs and im tryin to figure why but ordering spark plugs seems to be awful since i got the short reach instead of long reach just by not havin the knowledge of the correct engine. I want to verify that when this jagaloon swapped engines he didnt try and keep old stuff from the old engine with the newer motor. The boat is a 1988 four winns btw and didnt come with the est. Im not sure if the carb is even correct for this setup.
Anyhoo any input would be great :)
