Yes, I've run across the 4 cyl 165, as well.
I'd like to hear this one run but starting the motor in the state of undress it shows in the picture may be an issue. Edit: I just asked if it could be done and was told no.
Thanks for the confirmation! Y'know how they can sometimes look similar...
Here's a 160 just like mine https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/506261677044412/
And below is a 165

That 165 sure looks straight and narrow to me.
What do you think?
Hello:
I have recently got a 1969 Slickcraft with a 160 HP inline 6 mercruiser-branded Chevy, MC-1 outdrive.
Engine appears to have had water intrusion, although I was told it ran. Fetched up solid, won't budge an inch. ATF and diesel in sparkplug holes.
But I can get a 165 Mercruiser that runs...
