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.

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.

Yeah, I've been putting off trying a different motor for the last 2 weeks because of the thunderstorms, bad tides, heat and work.
Seems all I want to do is drink bourbon and ice when the weather and work don't cooperate with the boat schedule!
WE STILL WANT PICTURES!!
