is this a mercury mod vp? or just a 200?

And.....while you have it apart, you GOT to install solid mounts. They are $100 or so for all 4 - two up, two down

swap the hydro steering cylinder to the three ram mid.

would i be able to use the lower without the pin at the top of the driveshaft with the 3 ram mid?

[tlwjkw]

all 2.0, 2.4, 2.5 V6 gear cases of same length will interchange....

[joeymcgovs]

i have to use the exhaust tube or plate from the the mid section with the big ram right?

[tlwjkw]

both types will work on either mid...

if you use tha one piece adapter you will also need ta use high performance coolin' instead of production coolin'... if you have no idea on how to set up tha hp stuff you might wanna stay with production coolin'.... tha two piece adapter plates etc..... jmo.

[joeymcgovs]

yeah i am completely in the dark about all of this, thats why i was hoping to find a serial # on the engine so i could look up parts diagram to see how this all goes together... one piece adapter? meaning the exhaust plate and tube are all one piece? and with production cooling the exhaust tube and plate are two pieces?

[rgsauger]

Use the 2-piece setup and sell the 1-piece for a couple hundred bucks to help pay for your new bad habit!

[joeymcgovs]

i only have whatever set up is in the mid with the huge ram, the other mid came from a 150 and doesnt have the exhaust plate or tube in it

If you do not yet have a Factory service manual for your motor, ya gotta get one. check Ebay. $30-$40 or so usually and worth it's weight in gold.
