Mel would be my first call too, but a very close second would be Dave Stiff at Innovation Marine in Sarasota, Fl.
I have a pair of those engines at Innovation now, just waiting for me to finish one of the restos I have underway.
BTW Dave was THE guy at MerCruiser back in the day and probably wrote the manuals you are looking for. Tell him I said hello! Good luck with your project.

Yesterday I spoke with Errol Lanier whom I had met in the late 80's . He is well and building an awesome line of small cats . He could not help , however he referred me to Mel Riggs @ Riggs Marine in Wisconsin as had OSO member Biggus ( Thank You ) So I did call him and he is checking .
I have motors assembled and almost dyno ready .
Here are a few more pics .
Anyone with anything ?
( shop manuals , wiring diagrams , diagnostic info )
