Making a 2lt Mercury from 2.4lt parts

[WayneMac2]

Hi All,

I recently acquired approx. 7 engine blocks and looking to put together a nice 2lt from them.

Starting with a SST120 block, I was them looking to add crank & Rods from a V200 2.4 lt and front half from a 220 hp 2.4

Will this work or am I dreaming. Would love some feedback on what others have done.

"SST120 block"...………. year?

some of those sst120 block have big center mains like the newer 2.5 castings. can you post some pics of what you have?

Well at least I thought it was an SST120, After looking at the block number which is 884-816577-C, I cant find a match anywhere the closest I found was 884-816577 A16 which belongs to the Mercury Racing Formula I (2 Liter EFI) maybe the C is for carby ??? I have posted some pic`s of any numbers I could find on the block. It has the dual exhaust ports, I will post more pic`s tomorrow

its at least a '91 (fat block) or later.. tha "only 2.4" crank that will work will be from a "high performance 2.4" motor.. ie: Bridgeport and/or oval port.. crank has ta have shouldered center mains.. it uses large od plastic case center mains.. if front half has no provisions for injectors it will be a carb block...

if its 2.0 with "bridges" should be an F1 block...

Should be a f1 block.. odd serial number though.

I don't think the 2.4 front will work. It's got dowel pins on the heads it's a newer style block with bigger center mains

All four of my f1 motors are stamped PP and the lone 2.4 bridgeport EN.
