Started off good.
Was going to put this:
(Mercruiser 165hp / GM 250 I6)
Into this:
(1970 Sea Ray SRV190)
But then seen this:
(broken tab)
Which is supposed to look like this:
Bought the long block at least 3 years ago and just recently ~finished putting it all back together.
Installing the engine mounts, and...
Have not called the shop yet, looking for opinions for realistic expectations.
3 years is a long time, so I am guessing I eat it.
So...
Now what?
Can I weld a bung on?
Find a replacement block?
Boat's original block is cracked, which is why I bought this long block.
Had a really hard time finding the marine engine, but the GM equivalent is reasonable common.
Find the GM and start parts swapping?
There goes another couple years!
