Re: 1975 grady white with a omc 165hp gm
The block is the same as the same model of auto engine. Some internals are specific to marine use, such as the core plugs are brass, the camshaft is a little peppier head gasket is stainless, compression may be a little higher. but you you could find an auto or Pick Up would be a better donor and use the engine or block and swap over your internals and ALL the externals.
