Where is the best place to buy an omc 3.0?? It has a 1987 3.0 in it now, sad thing is the guy i bought it from, just bought it new last summer, only has 100 hours on it. I dont understand why some folks dont winterize properly!
Only choice is a new marine longblock from GM Industral & Marine. As that engine was never used in a car or truck in this country (NO it is not an Iron Duke!) rebuildable cores are rare, as most have suffered your fate. Two drain plugs is all it takes to keep her safe...
shop around, any place that deals in marine engines should have them available. OMC has been gone for many years, but the "merc" blocks are the same thing.
