newer powerhead on older lower end

[jeff151888]

I have a 1990 Evinrude 150 XP model # E150STLESB (90 degree V-6) that has a blown powerhead. A buddy of mine got me a sweet deal on a new 2002 150 h.p. 60 degree V-6 fully dressed. The only numbers I can find on the new motor is 0581 12C1B2. This number was stamped (not cast) on a machined section of the block. My biggest problem is the new powerhead will not bolt up to the existing exhaust hsg. adapter. <br />Do I need to find a newer motor w/ a blown powerhead? if so what years will work? Or can I change the adapter housing to a 60 degree version?? Part numbers would be great since my dealer hasn't a clue. Last question is how do I know if the 1990 motor is a 20" or 25"shaft......Thanks

Re: newer powerhead on older lower end

Please dont post the same question in two places. It gets way too confusing to keep up. There are lots of us that learn from following a certian post. If we havent stumbled across the other one we cant follow.<br /><br />If youre not sure where to post, just stick it where you think it should be. The Mods will move it for you and explain why if needed. <br /><br />I think some of mine have been moved to an unlisted forum.....
