"First Off I appreciate all you guys help!!
I am looking at a 85 GM 5.7 rebuilt engine that is complete and was a inboard motor. I am replacing a 94 mercruiser 5.0 LX Alpha 1. The outdrive is OK and is a Alpha 1 gen 2, Should be OK to run with the 5.7
It looks like different flywheel housing then I need? Will the flywheel assmy from the 94 bolt on to the 85 OK?
Will my electrical from my 94 bolt up on this OK?
Should I change the intake,carb ,and distribitor?
The 5.7 has electronic ignition already but would the thunderbolt ignition be better?
What things could be a problem switching from the 94 5.0 to the 85 5.7?
What do I need to absolutely need to change to make this work?
All responses welcome"
