There is the obvious swapping of all accesories and bolt ons that includes flywheel, stator, pick-up, ignition, coils, harness, starter, plugs, intake, carbs, possiblt reed replacement, thermostats, hoses, fuel pump and so on and so on. Then there is the mounting bolts that can sometimes be a real PITA!!! or just come right out. Then you get to replace the water pump as well, and then go through and do the link and sync on the carbs and ignition, find true top dead center on the new engine and mark the pointer. After you get her started up then you can live through the smoke from the assembly oil burning off as well as paying EXTRA attention to if it's pumping water as well as how hot it will run for the first 30 minutes. After you get some break-in time on it you can reset the total timing and do a quick water test and rough in the idle. Get you a few hours on her and do the final adjustments as well as possibly do some re-jetting of the carbs if the engine you put back on was bored or ported at all.
It is one of them jobs than can go easily or painfully. Also don't forget to figure in AT LEAST $500 for OH SH!TS when doing the job. I have spent more money on OH SH!TS than the actual rebuild on some engines.

Thanks for dropping a turd in my punchbowl... You make it sound like a real headache. I know your right though, it is one of those projects that if all goes as planned its an hour job, if not break out the check book!
Luckily its only January so I have some time/options. I am still looking. Thanks for the run down Ferm. -Svence

ferm is right i've had some go easy take 3 to 5 hours to swap and some go bad hard and b!tchy and take 3 days lol. plus the extra $ you always end up needed to fix the oops. if you haven't and are in any fear of something i'd say take it to someone to swap then you can fuss at them if it isn't right plus if you do something wrong i bet they will void the warranty.

This one doesn't appear to be too far from you. Brand new in the crate 150 JOHNSON like yours.

Seen both of those. The brand new leftover would be sweet but I am sure he wants way too much for it. I am after a 99 150 with boat and trailer listed for $3900 pretty close to home. Will know more this weekend, he is sending me some pics and additional info.

The 99 looks good and if all ck's out and a little dealing you have a nice motor
I hate fools that don't give you a starting big to get going. That 05 is going to be a good amount, and to start at a $1 is a pain in the a$$
