Great engine, arguably one of the best omc ever built. It LIKES gas, and parts are starting to get tough to find as it's been out of production since 2004.

I have to agree with Ferm. Those old crossflows are monsters. I had one a few years back and regularly surfed Craigslist to find parts motors just in case I needed something. Ended up with 2 parts motors that were burned up. Wish I still had that ol girl. Great motor but yes drank the heck out of gas.

94 is not a crossflow, in 91 omc went to loopers for all the v6 engines. But they were just as thirsty on fuel.

Meant looper. Haha had an old '86 150 JohnsonRude (Frankenstiened) It was also a beast. All this big OMC's were great, as long as your VRO was upkept or bypassed. Always bypassed mine.

they had a lot of good ideas on those engine then screwed themselves with one or more stupid ideas. i personally don't like them and wont do anything other than basic service on them. The fuel/oil system is garbage and way more complicated than it needs to be. It has plastic carbs that are probably already warped due to age if not a heavy handed mechanic. Those carbs are no longer available. I've also seen those blocks corrode thru pretty bad as well.
