Ill have ta check em out. Id like to have a spare to rebuild and keep in the garage. Ive got twin counter rotating 225 slant six chrysler marine engines and velvet drives that I might trade for a 470 at Budget Boats in Chesapeak VA. I called them and they told me we could work something out. CYensen, Ill try to post up a few pics of the repair, incase ya ever have to do it. It looks pretty simple though.

those 3.7's are getting scarce. Mercuiser had a bounty on cores a couple of years ago till they got their inventory on reman up to stock

I finally got around to replacing the cam seals and water pump gaskets.
It wasnt too bad. I drained all the coolant, pulled the harmonic balancer and removed the impeller cover. The impeller was held on by a single bolt. After removing it I could see the seals. I slipped a single edge razor blade between the timing cover and oil pan gasket so it wouldnt tear it. the timing cover came straight out 1/2 in. off two dowel pins. I changed out the seals , cleaned it all up and knocked the dowel pins back through the cover to allow it to turn up a littleso as not to push oil pan gasket into pan when installing it. I replaced the gaskets ,and all bolts and tapped pins back in. I used a long threaded stud and nut with washer to push the balancer back on ,filled it with coolant and fired it up. NO LEAKS YEAH!!! Now Ill change the oil and Ill be ready ta go. I took a few pics, will get them posted this week, working 11-7.
