I have pulled a pair of Mercruiser 7.4s out of my 1989 32' Wellcraft St. Tropez and would appreciate some suggestions on refresh plans...
I would like to increase low rpm torque to get on plane quicker and be able to maintain plane without having to keep the 4 barrels open. Increased fuel economy would be great.
Can I achieve this with Cam/piston combo?
Carburetor modifications, rebuild or swap? Note: no room for any high rise manifold.
Should I consider different heads or have them reworked?
Should I go to the expense of making it a stroker?
Any suggestions with proven results would be greatly appreciated.
