Welcome! I have never owned an Airslot or the 140 Mercruiser BUT I have had 2 good friends who have(the Mercruiser)....and they were a nightmare. They are basically half of a Ford 460 block.....but every part is Mercruiser...both guys ended up selling after a couple years

The 3.7L 165/170/188hp is the "half a 460". The block was made by Mercury, with Ford pistons, rods, and heads.

The 140 is the GM Iron Duke, which is a tried and true workhorse.
