I don't know much about the differences between marine and automotive engines
but are you suggesting a boat junk yard or an automotive? If atomotive, where
can I get a cross reference of the automotive long blocks that will fit my
application (engine mounts, transmission bolt up, etc.). Maybe a chevy 350 is
basically a chevy 350....within certain years anyway?
