GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
Ok. So the gold series 5.7 from Michigan Motorz is in. We installed it at my friend's shop using a chain hoist and we also had a forklift to move the engine into place to connect to the hoist. All in all it went well. I ran it on the hose and all seems fine so far. All my gauges are reading...
I ordered the 5.7 gold series from Michigan Motorz. They no longer carry the 357 mag complete turn key. I will have to swap a few accessories but nothing major. Thank you for all the help and input. I appreciate it.
Thats funny. So if all goes well and I am able to source this complete turn key swap, I am assuming it is pretty straight forward to pull the whole unit out and put the new one back? I have done this in cars and trucks many times. Just not a boat.
Most likely going to go with the 5.7 bob tail. My buddy is a mechanic and is going to let me use his shop to swap it. I rebuild the carb on the engine but I never changed the jets or metering rods. The plugs always looked good so I left it alone. The only thing I did was put a regulator in to...

Manifolds and risers were in decent shape. I pulled them, inspected them and put new gaskets on them. I am leaning towards a turn key drop in. That way its all new and I can save myself some time swapping used parts.

Hello my name is Joe. I just joined the forum. I'm hoping some of you can help me with my issue. I bought a 97 crownline 202 cuddy a few years back. It has a 5.7 in it. Serial# K038195. It ran decent and I put a little over 100 hours on it. This year at WOT at about 4400RPM it put a rod through...
