Hello, I wondering if any on can help me. I have puchaced my first
boat. A 1986 Bayliner 2150 Capri Bowrider with a 350 penta and 280
outdrive. When I purchaced the boat, the ad said it had a rebuilt 350
and just needed exhaust manifolds. Not know much about boat motors, but
knowing about older 350s I thought it would be no prob. I then discover
many parts missing and find that the engine cast is a 1976 350 block
3970010. I know this is ment to be a project, but I have found out that
the previous owner never got it running and gave up. I now am awaiting
a starter as well as other parts and now I am concerned that the engine
will not work with the outdrive. Does anyone know if these motors are
very different form each other. Very frustrated new owner, but knew it
would be a project. Thanks
