Well wes you could do those things but you might not want to. While the block of stern drive engines is pretty much the same as their automotive brothers there are a lot of differences - for example carb(s), camshaft, alternator, starter, freeze plugs etc.<br /><br />Yes you can get marine tune-up parts at many auto parts stores.<br /><br />You might spend some time with the red search function at the top of the page on your combination. I suspect that will shed some light on what you have and what you can do with it.<br /><br />Please turn off your caps lock key in future posts. It is called shouting and it makes for tough reading for us older flok.

Stock the 2.5L OMC is supposed to have 120hp when it's running right.
