How much should you pay for used complete running 454 carbed magnums?

Suppose the motors are running well completely stock early 90's. Complete means complete including sea pumps, alt, oil coolers etc.

Re: Custom exhaust Question for H.P. gear heads

I doubt this would help much in a boat due to the fact that the pipes are already short, fat 4" and straight. The H and X pipes were made to balance the backpressure of both sided of the engine due...

Re: Scarab excell

The Thunder models were supercharged and I believe had an upgraded interior. I saw one when they first came out and it had leather interior, I don't know if this was standard or made for the boat...

Re: Pachanga exhaust?

Tbird,

I think you will sleep better pulling the engine and installing the blockoff plate. You will need to pull the drive off in order to get the engine back in so pull it off first to prevent...

Mercruiser makes a block off plate for the transom assy that blocks the opening at the transom. I believe that the motor needs to come out in order to install the block off plates. You...

Re: 1990 31' Scarab Excel

Re: Suggestions for plugging y pipe after thru-hull conversion?

I would not mess around with homeade solutions. You can buy the factory blockoff from your favorite merc. dealer for about $30. This will allow you to cap it off at the outdrive and take the Y pipe...
