    Mercruiser 470 end of life. Need advice.

    the 488 is a 470 with a different intake and carb. if the motor spacing is 35" or greater you can put in a few V6's if you dont want to do a head job on your current head, buy a set of edelbrock aluminum FE heads (427, 460) and drill the hole that Mercruiser drilled for the elbow. this will...

    Forum update

    Forum update

    just a heads up. none of the threads that we were following and getting notices for still have you "watching" them. you have to manually find that list of threads and then "watch" them.

    Replacing Porch Post

    how maintenance free do you want to go? a galvanized 4x4x1/8" wall steel tube with paint over it will last about 100 years. treated pine with paint over it will last about 50 years

    Replace head and gaskets

    if you are just pulling the heads and intake, no. if you have to touch the cam and timing, yes. your 8.1 (gen VII BBC) does not have a traditional distributor, its coil on wire spark technology. the cam sensor and crank sensor are not touched by you pulling the heads.

    working on the last cushion. this is the one that sits over the motor. I added 3 drink holders and a flip over filler cushion. decided to go with gel vs vinyl because of the abuse first, a thickened layer of gel to fill the imperfections. I had mixed this up to fill a few screw holes I did...
