[Merc 2.5]

Everything is diff ,from ports ,nic,front half, horn unless carbed, did make sum chrome bps, but they was lower hp than the 245 BP,

Bridgeport carb (if that's what ya comparing) is rated at 220 I think..

2.5.. nic or chrome didn't change hp.

There were 3 versions. A 2.4 carb 220 hp, 2.4 efi 240 hp and a 2.4 mod vp at 252 hp, all at 7000 rpm. Most powerfull non bridgeport non race was the 220 laser efi.

did you now that they also built a "laser" efi Bridgeport also?.. it wasn't rated.. had several "carb" 200's that would run jus a good as tha "laser" 220 in '87/'88..... same time id bought tha "laser" Bridgeport motor, '88... tha BP Laser efi had a different ecu also... only one I saw with a "pot" on it.. what about tha 7 petal "carb" formula motor?

I went from 72-73 with a 2.4 200 carb, to 76-77 with 2.4 200 block with bp efi to then 87 mph with a bp efi. Big difference
