Right now I am in the process of rebuilding my '83 Chevy 350 that I pulled out of my 23' cabin cruiser. I still have lots of money I need to dump in to it to get it running (2 heads, valve job, rebuild kit mainly.) My neighbor and I were talking today and he has been working for GM for close to...
As some of you may know, I have a '83 Chevy 350. I got some advice from a bunch of you the other day, and currently the block and all the other parts are at the shop getting cleaned and bored .030 over. In the meantime, I am trying to do research on a good master rebuild kit. I figured I can...
Its been several years since i have posted here or worked in rebuilding my Chevy 350, but i gound some time today to get the last pueces if the engine stripped off. I took the freeze plugs out too because i was going to have the blocked boiled and cleaned to remove the small patcges if rust...
Has anybody used this product? I am considering using it on my trailer tomorrow for some large rust spots and would like feedback if it works all that well. Thanks
I found an add on craigslist. some guy bought three of these GMC diesels as a package deal from the military. Idk much about engines, but i do know there are marine grade and non marine grade engine parts added to the original block. This guy told me the engine came off of a Hummer, and the year...
In a freshwater coolant system, how does the water being cycled through the block and manifolds get cooled? is it by raw water being pumped by it or what? Also, how much longer does this prolong the life of an engine as compared to raw water cooled engines only used in the ocean? Just wondering
the title explains it, but where can i buy a rebuilt engine from a trusted place? i have to replace a ~'82 mercruiser 260 5.7L. Rapido marine keeps coming up online, but i researched and they dont have the best reviews. i checked out rebuiltautoengines.com (there marine page obviously) but they...
my stepdad says he has water in his oil (mercruiser 260) and wants to know what to do. From research, it sounds like its most likely a blown head gasket. What are the negative affects of this, and what can he do to correct this problem?
as the title implies, what size bolts do i need to mount a 260 to this stand...

I removed the stern from my mercruiser, but I can't figure out how to remove the housing to remove it from the boat. My ultimate goal is to remove the engine, and I have the manual, but it doesn't mention this. Help!
I took off the obvious 6 bolts, and the hydraulics or whatever its called, but cant figure out what to do next. does anybody know or have any suggestions? the picture pretty much explains what im dealing with, but if you need more detail or additional info just let me know...
I have been looking all over the Internet trying to find the year of my engine. its a mercruiser 350; i just need a link to somewhere where i can put in the serial number. If it helps, my serial number is 6152098. I also want to know where i can find the engine manual as well. i know there is a...
i have an alcohol burning stove in my galley with 2 burners. one of the burners runs perfectly, while the other has a leak. i can clearly here a leak in the threads somewhere, and the flame produced in quite large (1ft high.) how can i go about properly sealing this problem?
i want to take out all of the windows in my boat, paint them white with a metal spray paint (probably rustoleum?), tint the glass, and reapply new sealant or whatever it is. I have a link with several photos of the windshield and galley windows (i want to do the same to both except the galley...
