Can I use an automotive block to replace my Mercruiser 302 engine? I know the head gaskets and freeze plugs are marine grade. Any think else?

Yes, you absolutely can!

Swap out the freeze plugs, put a set of composite head gaskets on there, and go to town.

Just make sure your engine accessories are marine rated (distributor, starter, alternator, etc).

If the engine is out of a car, and not a truck, you'll probably want to swap out the cam for a marine/truck/RV cam.
