    How do I identify a 1958 Evinrude Big Twin 35?

    I have what I believe is a 1958 Big Twin 35 HP engine; complete and mounted on a 50s Cadillac Constellation runabout. I have searched and can find no identification plate on the engine. Where was the model # hidden on these models? Thanks, Jim
