Johnson 48hp to 60hp power head swap

[Nickpetrinko]

I have a 1996 48hp Johnson and have a chance to get a 1985 60hp 2 cylinder Johnson power head. Will the two cynlinder 60 fit my 48 hp? Just looking to add a little more power and top end. Thanks in advance

You're better off leaving that one alone for the horse power gain. If I remember right that 60 hp motor had a habit of the block splitting.
