Update: jack71 was gracious enough to hook me up with an 85hp motor. Today is my birthday so I convinced my wife to buy me an engine lift for my birthday. I got her hoisted it and got her started! Took some time but it runs pretty good. The motor is a 1976 so the tilt and trim is kinda bulky so I'm going to try to convert the tilt and trim from my 1990 to make it work. Have no clue if the trim on either one really works but I'll find out soon enough.
Also I'm thinking about switching the lower units of the two. Some of the metal on the lower on the 1976 are broken off. But that maybe something further down the line!
Two of the things that I'll have to fix on this motor are the fuel pump and impeller. They look like they work but as old as the motor is and as long as it's been sitting I would rather put a new one in now rather than later!
If anybody knows the swapping won't work PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!! Pictures to come!
