    2.5 245 carb to 260/280?

    I currently have a 2.5 245 carb motor and would like to go to EFI. There are a number of 280 complete electronics/horn/everything on here. I am having trouble finding the right front half to the block. I have been told that a BP 2.4 front half will work with my block and the other stuff, is that true? Any insight on doing this? Or anyone have a front half for sale?

    Laser efi should bolt right up to the carb intake I think? Should work good on the 24’ boat, should have more bottom but lack a little on top. That’s not a bad idea
