Spare i am familliar with the weep hole thanks, i will look closely for other probs, by the way i didnt like the inconsistancys in talking to the seller so i gave him the boot! i found another i am looking at this sunday in P a . it is a lake engine and comp is 125 across the board. What do you yhink of those numbers . you can take a look if you type in your search, craigslist Pa 3.7 mercruiser, its the 4 barrel .please let me know what you think he is going to run it for me on a pallet

3.7 mercriuser
 

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/boa/2801825407.html here you go spare.

looks pretty good, it appears to be what he said it is(correct heat exchanger, manifold, etc) notice it has the complete power steering assembly, if your 3.0 doesn't have power steering, it would be nice to add. First thing I'd is add a pertronix electronic conversion, see if you can find the tall flame arrestor as well

thanks again spare. i will let you know how it goes !

The 4 barrel carb. and associated components are worth over half the asking price! Good looking engine, good luck.

if would be good to let us no the difference in power from the 3.0 to the 3.7 i have a 3.7 and wasnt to happy on the engine power and buy saying that i stepped out of 17 ft with a 115hp so it a big jump in size and wieght
