Just bought another 3.7
 

Every few days I search on ebay for 470 merc or 3.7 in the used section to see what I can find . I found and bought a 3.7 long motor. The guy recounds he bought it for the head and sat the bad head back on it to sell off .I got it no one bid on it $150 / I was always concerned if the block was to ever crack or a piston or rod let go I would be in the deep **** trying to find one . My future worries about that are gone the guy also said it was a 190hp engine so it would interesting to se how different the grinds are on the camshaft

Congrats Aussie, sometimes deals like that fall into your lap

never hurts to have a spare

Always pays to have a Spare right Spare

Yes they do but always at the wrong time when u really don't need it but its too cheap to say No

Aussie, we think alike! I bought a spare engine that looked like brand new but was stuck for 150.00. I got it home and got it unstuck and started it up. I'd probably freshen it up before use but still got a complete motor if I need it.

Hi guys I got it apart she is worn but std bores and flat tops I'll post some pics tonight still have to use my phone to get on here

They used speedy sleeves to repair the grove on the camshaft for the water pump seal didn't work too good

I can reuse the tensioner of this one mine is broken
