Going out on a limb here, due to cost? You can get a GM block for a case of beer and a song. It's an OHV engine with little swag. It lacks phasers, direct injection, exotic materials, etc.. This article kind of sums up why they developed their own engines...

So glad you returned it. I'd ask if they at least took you to dinner or gave you a hug, $110 belt should have a lb of coke with it.

Well, I'm probably going to sell mine, 84 Monaco 21' 305 228. It's been sitting in a field for some time at foreclosed property. I was going to restore it, plans have changed. Not sure what it's worth or if it will run since I got it a few months ago and it's too cold to tinker with.

Might you give your scrutiny up for these literal specimens? It's quite the exercise to find such a fine example of writing nowadays, especially for a literati such as yourself. https://amp.businessinsider.com/americans-are-overconfident-in-their-driving-skills-2018-1...

+1 for this. The Merc will cost more, especially if you are a dealership only kind of person. You can throw a rock and hit a GM dealership. The downside, GMC is just a dressed up Chevy.

Not YOU specifically. More of a "you guys" type of usage.

I have a plan to move out of this state, a single raindrop doesn't blame itself for the flood (if you are in bad traffic...you are just as much fault), I own a vehicle that does very good in snow and I've done enough snow/off-road driving to know what I'm doing.. I'm also a stickler for being...

It seems like a lot of guys on here are easily annoyed by everyday things, most of which have zero impact on their lives.

I heard Jersey girls aren't trash, because trash gets picked up haha.

What kind/type are you into? Any particular model that you'd like to have?

What if you didn't know it and Sea Ray wasn't helpful either?

Case in point...

Go to an auto parts store... Mercruiser parts are just going to be AC Delco parts but with the lovely marine upcharge.

Two thoughts... 1. Might they be blanks for two additional outdrives? 2. Radiator or some additional cooling? How did you come across this?

These are all very cringy. I'd agree, most are inside jokes that seemed funny at the time, people think you're just an a$$hat for the pun... including my suggestion.

"My Dixie Wrecked"

The maintenance side makes sense. I was told OB wouldn't last as long as I/B, gas vs gas similar power. This is swaying me towards OB, it seems like they are quite expensive though. Again, could be more misinformation.

Not to get off topic, could anyone provide the pros/cons of OB and I/O? I always preferred I/O due to being an automotive engine and simplicity.

Well, that's annoying. Tell him good luck, probably a blessing in disguise.
