2.5 260 questions

I'm gonna try to buy a 2.5 260 that is scattered and I have an 89' 2.4 200 that needs the lower unit rebuilt, nosecone, lwp ect.

I belive the 260 is a 92' model and I'm wondering if the lower unit will fit on the 2.4 or if the 2.4 powerhead will bolt up to the mid for the 2.5?

It would be a lot easier to determine what to do if I had both side by side but I don't want to buy the 2.5 if i cant make use of it with what I have.

Just trying to balance what i want with what I can afford and I don't have the budget to make mistakes and buy extra parts I don't need

Someone has to know if they are interchangeable. You guys are the experts....or atleast think you are. Just kiddin but any input would be appreciated.

The lower unit will bolt right up.

You might have to change the adapter plate to get the powerhead to bolt on, but it's easy to do.

Thanks. I thought it would but needed to hear it from someone else. Eventually plan to drop a new powerhead on the 260 but gonna have to save for that for a while.
