About the Mercury Marine 470 / 3.7 Liter
The Mercury Marine 470 (224 CI in-line 4 cyl) was first introduced in 1976.
It was a powerful (170hp) 4 cylinder which was a popular alternative to the
old 160 and 165 in-line 6 cylinder.
The 470 uses an aluminum block which was designed and manufactured
by Mercury Marine. The iron head was from a Ford 460 V8 engine.
The 470 block was also used in the 170, 165 (3.7 Liter),
485 (4 barrel), 488 (4 barrel), 190 (4 barrel), and the 180 (3.7LX with 4 barrel).
All of the 470 and 3.7L versions used closed cooling systems.

There is a picture somewhere of a 24 with twin 260 I/O's I just cannot find it. Talk about sitting low in the stern. Some Avanti 27's also had twin small blocks also in a 7' beam boat It was challenging enough to work on a cig 28ss with twins so I can't imagine how you would get to the stb block mounted oil filter or the port starter in that setup.
