    Is the vortec 4.3 the same short block as the early non-vortec?

    welcome aboard. no. suggest if you want to stay with your 93-95 stuff, you do that, or you upgrade to vortec heads and use the 2007 long-block and find the appropriate front accessory drives. you will need a vortec intake manifold.

    MerCruiser 7.4L Bluewater Exhaust

    dont use stainless on the exhaust. Use a grade 8 bolt, Coat the threads with maalox and coat the head of the bolt with paint. use a die grinder with a 2" cut-off wheel, or get the 4.5" cut-off wheels for a 4.5" angle grinder.

    Discolored seats…paint?

    the issue is that the mold and mildew are inside the seats and in the foam and attacking the vinyl (pinking) and the seat needs to be re-done. vinyl paint will last about a month on boat seats before it starts to fail due to the elements

    hooking up 4stroke kicker to existing fuel tank (starcraft islander)

    it should be on a separate pickup and here is why if you do not have check valves, the engine can start to pull air from the kicker motor or the kicker can start to pull air from the main motor and neither engine runs if you add check valves, you add additional restriction in the lines and it...

    What´s the best replacement for AQ271C (or 570) 5.7 GM engine, ideally stroker?

    if you want to save money, find a low mileage 1996-2000 truck with a 5.7 and buy the motor for $125, then swap the core plugs and head gaskets. roller tip rockers are not needed, and you shouldnt need valves, because if your motor needs valve, the valve seats are probably toast. at that point...
