OK guys I just picked up a really, really clean merc 245... way nicer than expected... (bought it off Craig's list) anyway the owner was second owner and told be he thinks the original owner had it rebuilt, but not real knowledgeable about what they did... it appears to have a new style 280 style block, with the alternator boss milled off at the factory, I say that as the gold coating has been applied after the machining process... I am curious if this would have the 245 or 280 porting and particularly the 280 exhaust chest or not? I know I can yank heads and exhaust (chest) plate, but don't really feel like yanking it apart right now, but curious none the less...
Any insight would be great...
cheers,
Mike
