I picked up a 70's era Chrysler 75 hp off Craigs list to remove the tilt/trim unit to install on my 1972 Chrysler 85 horse.
The motor's power head was partially disassembled and is in rough shape. I'd like to finish disassembling it so I can hone out the cylinders and see what kind of compression I can get out of it to determine if the powerhead is worth rebuilding to keep as a spare. The previous owner had begun disassembly and gave up quickly but not before removing and losing the model/serial tag which on my 72 is located on the lower cover at the starboard side facing the transom.
Is the model/serial etched on the motor somewhere (anti-theft) that I might be able to see it? I'd like to see what the most basic parts would be just to get it to the compression check stage because I don't want to guess the year wrong and be out any more green then necessary.
Thanks in advance.
