F-242 LS Restoration
 

Hello, Im new to the forum here. I recently bought a 242ls that needs restoration, so Im going to be asking alot of questions. First is does anyone have pictures of the single 350 engine? The marina I bought it from removed parts from the engine. I know its missing the exhaust manifolds, distributer, and? I need to know exactly whats missing so I can purchase the parts. Im going to try to upload a few pictures.

From what I can see, exhaust manifolds, risers, distributor, and coil are all missing. Also the wiring harness has been cut from what looks to be the starter or battery wires. Is the starter there? Probably easier to pull that engine out and work on it. Replace all your gaskets, change your oil, check engine coupler, starter, if its spins freely etc while its out.

Good luck, and welcome to the 242 club?

What year is your boat?

Post some more pics of the rest of the boat, we love pics.

I see coil, distributor (module also if thunderbolt iv), exhaust, harness plug-solenoid-main breaker (looks like someone cut these out). Can't see if alternator or power steering pump is there.

What are the heads? They look aluminum with angled plugs, AFR?
