"Hello out there. I need some
"Hello out there. I need some help. I recently purchased a 1999 Regal 2100LSR Bowrider. It has a 5.0L Merc in it now but I have discoverd that the block is cracked. I have decided that I would like to upgrade the engine to a 5.7 Vortec MPI. My dilema is to either purchase a Merc long block and then locate a used MPI system or, I have located a used Marine Power 5.7 MPI complete, ready to bolt in. It was removed from a Hamilton drive jet boat. Can anyone help with some advice as to which path would be the most cost effective and less difficult?
Thanks"
