Replacing 2.3L Engine

[jkgregg]

I have a 1987 Bayliner Capri 2.3L OMC Cobra. I just purchased a running 2.3L. I will be removing the cracked block and cracked head (water was squirting out of both and a nice white milky substance filled my bilge) today. My question is, are there any special tools I new for this process? And is there a way I can test the intake manifold for leaks?

Thanks in advance.

I am no expert but I would think that if you made a plate to cover where the carb sits (w/ gasket) you could stand it up and fill with acetone to check for leaks. Just like the exhaust test that is in the "adults only" sticky.
