Help ID 5.7LX Mercruiser Engine
I can't find a straight answer anywhere. Some sources say these engines are EFI, some say they are not. Some say they are Vortec heads...some say not. I guess having them hooked to bravo's throws it off.
What I do know.
5.7LX with bravo III drives
Serial numbers:
0k027498
0k027506

You should have a 1997 - 4 bbl carb rated at 250 hp propshaft. This engine has T - bolt V ignition, roller cam and what Merc called at that time Gen + cylinder heads (vortec persay). Also should have hand removable blue water drain plugs, one serpentine belt (new for 97) and RPM range was 4400 - 4800,
Also in 1997 was offered 5.7L with 2 bbl carb only rated at 210 hp propshaft. RPM range of 4200- 4600.
Volvo had the same and was rated at 215 hp at the prop. and their 4 bbl was rated at 260 hp at the prop. FYI
