Well the Camaro lives (it was worth fixin for a bro). It even got a
bolt on truck-rack now (home built w/ my torch). My bro's drivin it
from MD to ElPaso and keepin it. Thus the ol 250 mercruiser (165HP)
will have to function again (any links for 250 chevy engines?). I
suspect it may be siezed. Maybe time to buy an old truck and work the
parts into the mercruiser. Maybe some PB-Blaster into the spark plug
holes could save it. The idiot I bought it from drained out the oil so
it's been dry for over a year and is missing some of the fuel-line
pieces. He also said "the starter grinds but it turned" - I'm not sure
I believe the turned part. Pray for me and pray for bro taking the
Camaro home to die!

Just got a 21' 73 sportcraft boat. Have a recked an 80 camaro w/ a good
267 (v8) and tranny. The boat is pretty rough and has a 165hp
mercruiser. I'm wondering for the pain in the ass of getting it
running with water under it and so-on maybe I could just put the prop
onto the drive-shaft of the 267 and figure a mount. the only issues I
can think of are the seal arround the shaft, and the ratio. Anyone know
a mercruiser's ratio? How bout the ratio of a 267 V8 to the drive-shaf
for the 80 camaro? I figure the tranny would be really cool for
choosing fast or pulling a skier.
Thanks,
