Howdy Gang,
Is there a easy way to tell what engine we have? It is in a sports fishing boat Mercruiser 215- small block Ford 6 bolts on valve cover
I was told 351 cu in but it seems more like a 302.After a couple of wrong gaskets sets the one that fits said 302 on the package.
it took 4 different tries to get a new oil pump that fit.
I see in my motors manual that the 302 and 351 have different firing order
both rotate the same direction likewise the distributors.
any way to tell which timing order to go with?
thanks
hank
