Will these interchange ???????

[KYHunter]

I am building a 78ETL115, Johnson. I found a good deal on a machined block. Its off a 1977 Evinrude 115. Will this block be the same as mine ? Will everything bolt up ? The seller said , as long as my motor has the small center main bearing, which it does , everything else would be EXACTLY the same. True/False. <br /><br /> Thanks in advance,<br /> KYhunter

Should not be a problem KY. The blocks, for all practical intents and purposes, are the same.

OBJ, <br /> Thank you, for your reply. I found this block in another state , and haven't seen it yet. Its a good deal, and has been bored for the pistons , I am buying with it. I was worried about it bolting up to adapter housing correctly. <br /> Thanks, for alleviating my concerns.<br /> <br /> KY Hunter

If the 77 115 block is from a 25" midsection it'll work. If it's from a 20" midsection it won't.<br /><br />If youre going to reuse your crank you'll need an 85 or 115 block from 1977 25" mid or any 1978 V4 crossflow. The 1978 140 will work too.<br /><br />If the donor block comes with a crank you can use any V4 crossflow from 1979 & newer.
