I have an '82 mercruiser 470 that I am rebuilding. I have heard that this engine puts out 170 hp or 190 hp depending on carburation. What is this magical carburetor? and where do I get one?

Its a 4bbl carb and a diffrent manifold. Which are practicly made of gold. the 190 version also has an oil cooler aswell built into the manifold.

I am guessing it will be expensive, but I am in need of a new carb anyway. I was thinking it might be worth the extra cash for the easy horse power. Do you know who makes it or where to get one?
