I'm currently redoing mine, going back with a 3.0 Mercruiser set up. can you take pictures of the engine box for me? the one I have does not look original to the boat.

The engine box on the earlier models (pre 74) look more rounded like the one in the picture where as 74 latter have larger more squared off boxes.
