    Ahoy,is it a cruiser?My thinking is of a square type for a housebost,and Im not aware of pacemaker making them. I would just get a used car one,for a temporary fast fix.It should be right hand rotation. best wishes..

    I just bought a rebuilt 350 from advance auto parts for 1270.00 Came with heads on and timing chain. Its an auto engine but all the marine stuff bolted right on with no issues. Just get the rotation right. Ie..left hand turning engine vs right hand turning engine.

  • An update the motor is alive. I just kept putting in more pc blaster and rotated the engine a little bit and then a little more and finally hit the starter and it runs now.

  • Amazing. Congrats
