I had to replace the 3.0 in my boat this past summer and had the same
questions as you after. I bought and had a rebuilt block shipped from
middle MA from a place called doug russell marine. They were helpful. I
think I paid 300+/- more than the the ones you see on ebay all the time,
but I was sure it was going to fit and that all my other accessories
would bolt up to it- no changing flywheels, etc. 2 year warranty. With
all the B$ I have gone through with the old engine, I played it safe!
btw mine was older than yours so that may make a difference. But it
doesn't hurt to give them a call- you may get some useful info from
them. Good Luck!

I second Doug Russell's. I have 15+ years experience dealing with them -
they are very helpful.
