Hey, me and my buddy picked up a hurricane fundeck boat with a 5.0 volvo penta as a project boat. When we got the boat it needed a starter. We put the starter on and it fired up, but has a bad knocking sound. It sounds like a rod bearing knock, but it comes and goes randomly through the rpm range. What would be the cheapest way to fix it? Are there any reputable rebuild kits out there? Also if we got a long block from a junkyard, what engine would i be looking for? ex. a mustang, bronco. Im not so familiar with ford engines as I am Chevy. I dont want to buy a engine and then the manifolds and acc. not bolt up. Also is there anything on these boats that would cause a knocking sound that we could rule out before we pull the engine?
