Doing a resto and looking for a 100-140hp. Plz no junk, needs to be restorable or running. A 1976 would perfect but would settle for a 79-81. Thanx

Hi, I have 2 1975 55hp's I've had since the 70's. They are both running and in great condition. Let me know if you would like any info on them, if they would work as twins on your resto. Bill Jolley in Oakland County, Mi.

I'm still waiting for a Chrysler....and since I can't haven't found one yet, I may end up with either Johnson or Evinrude 135. Finishing the floor this week. Interior is done and ready to go in after the floor.

I see 140's around , down south a little while ago 4 prime motor went for $800 three 140 and a 115 all powerflow one l/u to the same buyer, dirt cheep and they sold in a day. If your lookiung for a mid 70's style cowl it can be made to work on the 78-84 by swapping the latches. That's what I did, kept the 105 cowl and restored it mint for a built 105 c.i. 140 . Can't believe you're having trouble finding one. I know of a couple more that are on old battle ships (not CHrysler boats) that are on the web forsale. Any 140 you get that is a runner should be rebored and gone through top to bottom carbs to ign. to bearings if you're doing a resto just so you know it's right. Leave the V4's out of this, my opinion.
