    Jesus the tile guy? or Jesus the landscape guy? I think Jesus's brother Jorge is the one that wanted you to have the boat.

    1986 Mercury 75hp Mod.

    Good engine for rebuild

    either a comp cam or crane cam. nothing more than 264 degrees of total duration if you have stock heads, nothing more than .450" lift (check your rocker arm ratio) I would go 5.7 myself vs a 5.0. I would also jump to 96 and later vortec heads.

    Where to get decent, unbiased info about new outboard choices?

    1989 3.7L 224/165H

    is it coming out of the plastic over-flow tank? if so, drain your cooling system and pressure test (easy as hell on a 470). you probably lost the head gasket.

    if I did that, would take the truck and probably drive round-trip in one shot..... its a posibility. I have driven to Colorado and back for a 1953 Chevrolet cab and front clip.
