hmmmm, I thought I scouted out the engine number which suggested a 230 CID, (information from an Internet chart). I certainly could be wrong in how I read the chart! I will get those numbers again and post them here so a confirmation of what the Merc 165 actually is, can be verified. Does the 165 refer to horse power or something else? I assume HP. Also, I am guessing that the Merc will have a hydraulic lifter cam? If the Merc is a 250, will I be able to bolt up a conventional flywheel and clutch to the crank?
