I've been told that the case half of a mercury 2.4 is lined bored and can't be changed from antoher engine. Is this true. Not that I've done it. But someone else told me to change to a 7 peddle reeds I would have to change the front half of the block and the obvious intake and reed cages.

Ray is right. Has been done and is being done. Heres the catch...They are line bored and the 14 petal front from say an early 225 wasnt intended to go onto a 10 petal block. It will bolt on but doesnt always fit. If you get one and its off a bit, you will need to find another and try again, or I think you can have it line bored to fit. Usually they go right on, but not always.
Good luck,

I was at the dania flea market the other week looking for v-6 blocks and I passed up 2 of them that were in ready to be built condition for $100 for both of them but because the buy didn;t have the case half I passed up on the deal fearing that they would be worthless to me.. I'll know for next time.
