as i remember you can't even swap those 2 powerheads as they have different midsections and different powerhead adapters, plus you wouldn't take the wiring off one to the other as they will not inter change. the red plug is the only thing those 2 motors have in common.

The wiring on the Evinrude is trashed. I was planning on using the Johnson power head on the other mid section. I'll take a look in the repair manual and see if the power heads will swap.

So far they look the same, bolt pattern that is. I haven't gottne the Johnson power head off yet.

Look closely at the water jackets on the block and head to make sure there is not a leak on one or the other, it will be evident by discoloration different than the majority of the locations on the gasket.
See if they use the same carburetors also.

The carbs don't look exactally the same. I'll have to look at the carb numbers when I get that far.

a repair manual will not tell you swap years lol, sounds like a FrankenMotor is being attempted

I did some part number crosses at the following site: http://shop.evinrude.com/ Everything I could make out says that they will swap over. If the power head will not swap then the adapters below the power head between the mid and power sections can be swapped. I'll have to do that to make it work.

Yeah! I've still gotta get the Johnson power head off then I can compare the two side by side. I didn't think pics were needed in the disassembly process since it is in about every repair manual out there.

It may take me a few days. IT'S HOT DOWN HERE IN MISSISSIPPI!! Not to mention it starts raining every time you turn around.

Looking up part numbers, it looks like they will swap over. The only way I will know is when I get both power heads ready to swap.
