Re: 190 mercruiser

If you are asking what to convert to....I have read that you can almost directly convert to the 3.0L mercruiser without much hassle and you can even go to a 4.3 but there is alot involved.<br /><br />this link gives a better explanation: http://www.mercruiserparts.com/mercury_mercruiser_3-7.htm <br /><br />Just a side note.... ;) if you are replacing a 470/190 (4 cyl mercruiser with a closed cooling system I would be interested in your old parts.<br /><br />Bob rpf924@stowetel.com
