1973 2.5 leaking water.

[4eholt]

Hey everyone I could use some help. I have a 1973 2.5 that is leaking water. It appears to be coming from the head gasket. A couple of questions. Are the blocks the same as a car engine? Also I know the heads are different but what are the differences? And lastly where is the best place to find a head gasket and a water manifold gasket?

Thanks in advance!

Nope, the 2.5l used in boats is a 153cid Chevy motor, 'n the 2.5l used in cars is a 151cid Pontiac motor, Nothin' in common,...
The car motor is the Iron Duke, the boat motor is Not,....
