I found it on a Facebook trader/classified page. Another guy was cleaning out his shed. I could have had a 60 Merc. For the same amount but didn't know if the lower would interchange so I went with the big un.
both had burnt Pistons. Not worth a rebuild. The guys dad had them passed away, he wanted them out. His dad ran gasohol in them. Oils don't mix well with that stuff.

I'm not really an expert on those old Mercs but I remember a few
things from when Wayne (Clams) Canino was here. I believe he once
said that a leading cause of burned pistons was if one of the carbs
got leaned out compared to the others. He had a business rebuilding
and reselling them.

Too bad Harry & Company ran him off, too.
