    The story I was told was someone stole the outdrive, intake man. and carb, exhaust mans and heads off the engine during winter storage. He sold block and inner and outer to a guy. I dont know if true or not. I got the boat and trailer for $800 he wanted $1200

    Was trying to get more info on this engine. Doesnt come up as good # on parts sites. GM#14088548 come up as years 86-94, 2 bolt or 4 bolt main. Front pad #VO1166AB. Was curious if 2 or 4 bolt main and 1 piece or 2 piece rear main. Should be 1 piece.
