Hello all.....for all your hel

Hello all.....for all your help this past couple weeks to get the boat in the water again I thank you!!! Sadly the only thing I didnt mess with failed yesterday.... I apparently lost a bearing and it locked up the bottom end.... The block and outdrive are alraedy out and I found a Volvo 2.1 liter or B21 block from a car that looks good and has good compression for only $100...Can i use this in place of my old block and just use my marine head and exhaust and intake??
 
"Yes, provided your original e

"Yes, provided your original engine was an AQ125A (the AQ125B is a different block). If you go that way, make sure you transplant all other marine parts from your current engine (starter, carb, alternator, water pumps, etc). You can also use the head in the B21 if you exchange the automotive cam with your current cam. If the B21 head is fuel injected, the injector ports can be sealed with frost plugs or by other means.
