Question about the different years of Mercruiser motors, drives and interchanging.

[wvmedic]

Ok Mercruiser gurus, what is the difference in a 1995 3.0L Mercruiser and say a 1966 2.5L Mercruiser?

A little info as to what I want to accomplish, I can get a 1995 Sea Ray with the 3.0L but what I really want in the end is a Starcraft Holiday or the like 18? or better.

So if I get an older Starcraft say 1965 thru 1973, can I transplant the 1985 3.0L and sterndrive with controls to the Starcraft? Is the hole thru the transom the same or is it totally different?

Thanks Jeff.

Yes, the hole through the transom is the same.
