re-powing
i'm going re-power my 1980 v20 . its an i/o with a mercruiser 470/165 hp alunm. block. i was thinking of getting brand new. the 3.0 with the alpha outdrive. but on another site called the bass barn. (im from the philly /atlantic city area). i was getting alot of feedback that that engine with the EFI, it was putting out 135 h.p. and the tourq wasn't good at all! then i have some people tell me its plenty?? does anyone have good info on this? also if i have to go to the 4.3 v-6 is the engine box big enough on our boat? with the re-powering, i'm also going with all new gauges . i was looking at complete controll panels with new ignition, the one i was looking at was made by mar-lan.and a new throttle mount,single lever side mount any ideas ? thanks for everything, this is a great site!..... francis wurtenberg
