Hello all!
Long time lurker, first time poster!
I currently have a 1983 Bayliner Capri 19.5. The current v6 (4.3) is blowing white smoke out of the PCV valves! I bought a boat 350. Its complete from belts to Bellhousing.
I am wanting to drop this V8 into my boat. I have done car motors, but never a boat. I have read several posts on motor swaps, but nothing clearly referring to my model. The V8 runs great on the runstand, has good oil pressure, etc.
Can I shoehorn this motor in without removing the 270 outdrive? If so do I need to get one of those alignment tools?
I'm sure there are questions to my questions on this one, and I thank yall in advance for the help.
