I have a 1968 Johnson 65 hp with no lower unit and the drive shaft has been removed. Can I run this for a min or two out of water to sell, or will I be damaging it? Any suggestions on how I can show people it runs?? Thanks!

Sure, a couple of minutes is not a problem. Does it still have the water tubes? If so, put a garden hose on the water tube, and run some low pressure water thru the block. You can run it all day like that.

One of those tubes is the inlet, one is the outlet. I would choose the front one as the inlet, and use that one, although they are connected together when the 'stat is closed..
