how do I hook up a omc 350 and outdrive

[humboldtbrad]

I just purchased a 1973 starcraft with a omc (king cobra) 5.7 350hp crate motor that has never been run (fresh out of the crate) the previous owner bolted it in and never finished hooking it up (wiring, exhaust, linkages) the engine is missing the exhaust risers and there are no controls so I'm going to need those parts
so in recap I need a good omc parts website, a guide to hooking up the engine, and a lot of good advice

the boat also has a omc king cobra outdrive serial # t0581841 model # 985273 eng 5.7 that is missing a water pump and I also want to know how to verify that it is in good working condition without having to run the engine
so i also need parts for this and a lot of good advice

does anyone know of a boat junk yard that ships parts? if you do please give me the info I will appreciate it

these are pictures of the boat and engine http://s1070.photobucket.com/albums/u487/humboldtbrad/

can anyone tell me what year the out drive is?

Ayuh,.... Yer pictures of the motor, 'n drive Suck...
They're shot way to close to see anything...

Btw,... It's kinda hard to believe anybody would put the effort into refitting that hull with Another Obsolete drive....
What's goin' in, is 'bout as Obsolete as what was taken out....
Yer goin' from a stringer drive that ya can't buy parts for, to a slightly newer drive that ya can't buy parts for...
