Those all sound like 2.6L parts, which makes em pretty easily swappable. I know it was around 93 or 94 that teh 225's went to the 3.1L(?) 76 degree V and things changed alot. What you did was sort of like swapping a 150 EVINRUDE powerhead of teh early 80's for a 235, they were built on teh same bas plate so they easily swap.

what Ferm said. Its all interchangeable. I think gear ratios would be different from 150 to 225 but I don't care. It comes out of the hole like a slingshot and the top end is good too. I wanted to go with a 3.1L 225 but I had the mid/lower laying around. So I just found a fully dressed 225 2.6L on Ebay that needed a rebuild. I replaced the crank and 1 piston and con rod and tossed it on my mid. Almost 200 hours on it and so far so good.



oh yeah.......FART......finally
I gave myself the rest of the day off.
