THE BLOCK AND HEAD CASTINGS FOR LATER 80-UP MARINE ENGINES IS THE SAME. NO MARINE 4.3 I HAVE SEEN YET HAS A BALANCE SHAFT EITHER. THE MAIN DIFFERENCES ARE.
1. MARINE CAMSHAFT PROFILE
2. ALL METAL LINED MARINE GASKETS USE STAINLESS STEEL AND AUTOMOTIVE ENGINES DO NOT.
3. BRASS FREEZE PLUGS ARE USED IN MARINE APPLICATIONS.
4. MARINE ENGINES USE A MARINE ONLY DISTRIBUTOR.
5. CARBURETORS FOR MARINE ENGINES ARE MARINE ONLY UNITS AND MUST NOT BE REPLACED WITH AUTOMOTIVE UNITS.
6. MARINE WATER PUMPS, (CIRCULATION), USE BRASS OR BRONZE IMPELLERS.

YES AN AUTOMOTIVE ENGINE CAN BE USED FOR YOUR APPLICATION BUT, FAILURE TO REPLACE THE THE ABOVE MENTIONED ITEMS IS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER. "
