    Swap an OMC 5.8 with OMC 5.7

    Swap an OMC 5.8 with OMC 5.7

    I have a 1992 Four Winns 225 Sundowner with an OMC 5.8 & King Cobra outdrive. I just completed and transom replacement and now I’m moving to the engine. I was curious to know if an OMC 5.7 will bolt up to my existing setup. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
