Thanks yeah if I happen to find a marine 3.0 in my area maybe ill go that route since its coming out anyways. Def a marine motor regardless of what goes in.
You would have a hard time finding a 3.0 that is not a marine. I believe they may have been used in industrial equipment but I have never seen one other than marine. You should be able to find them all over the place in rotten bayliners.
Starter, fuel pump, alternator and the like are all exactly the same. Distributor and carb will be slightly different. Drive ratio is exactly the same, 1.98:1... No change required there, but you may need to go to a bigger propeller (almost certainly! ).
Any year 1982 to 1991 should fit. Bondo Rear seal?
