I understand that I will be bolting on all the electronics for the ignition and carbs but what else am I required to do? Once she is all put back together am I good to go or is there timing adjustments, carb tweaking, etc? I am still looking for a total replacement but I have found a rebuilt powerhead for 1900, and he doesn't need my block so I could sell that to get some cash back. Seems like a good deal to me.

At home I have this guys number who is moble and maybe you could contact him to see if he would be willing to help you with the job. He knows motors and is fair in his pricing. He worked on my motor for an hour plus and only charged me $75. Not sure if he is still doing moble work as I heard he got a job at some Marina but if you like I could get you his number.
