Hi All,

I finished putting a Mercruiser 165hp inboard motor in Ol Green, my 66 C20! It all came out surprising well. It did not have many hours on it. I put a new head gasket on it leaving the rest of the long block as-is and then I put all the components off my old 250 on it. The old motor had a bent snout on the front of the crank creating an annoying vibration.

The boat motor runs very smooth and revs nicely! Has anyone else out there done this swap?
