"I have to replace my 94 Alpha 1 Mercruiser 5.0 LX engine serial# 0F138428 Model Number: 450L100GS , I have a alpha 1 outdrive and need a engine to bolt up.
Couple of questions:
Do I need to replace with identical engine and what engine years would work?
Can I go with a vortec 5.0 engine or?
How do you know if it is a short block or long?
How do you tell if its standard rotation or reverse?
Any idesa on were to purchase a quality rebuilt engine or a rebuilt block and use my componets?"
