Hi folks, i'm new to boating and am drowning in my quest to find out if my 4.3 is a vortec roller cam or not, all the search's have left me hopelessly treading water...so i came to where the experts are
i'm wanting to by a carb and manifold but it is for non vortec, i only need the carb a rodchester mv4, but the manifold is new as is the carb sitting on it.
mine looks terrible with rust etc.
i have no tag on my engine..
i have a recipt from Feb 24 1987 for job of removing a 165 unit and installing a new 205 v6 alpha1 mercruiser and it gives serial numbers for all componets, but the engine number is not right (i think).
This is from the reciept...
ser.#585696 engine
0a597710 Drive (this i have verified on the drive and on the spark arrest. cover)
a628184 transom
i think that the engine number should have a 0B in the front of that serial number but i'm not sure any more..
you all know how rare that carb is and this is new for a good price and i'd like to get it asap.
This is a quote from his ad
" This has been in my attic for a few years: I was going to use but sold the engine to a friend. The manifold fits non-vortec engines. Fits engines serial numbered below OF001219. Intake gaskets included. Mercruiser part numbers:
Manifold: 11974 Carb:3310-818660-A1"
any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated Thankz in advance for reading and hopfully responding
great boating to all
