What is the best (easiest) way to identify the engine in my 2000 Crownline. I looked at the pad by the cylinder head and cannot see any stampings. Getting to the back of the block looks to be near impossible to find the casting number. I bought the boat new and know its the original one. Any tips?The block is cracked and I'd like to find a replacement and rebuild it prior to pulling the old one.Any good sources for a bare block?Do you have your engine serial number to post up? That may help us help you out with your question.
Re: 4.3L Vortec Engine IDIts a Mercruiser Alpha one. I do not see any numbers on the cylinder head pad and cannot get behind it to check the block casting number. I assume its on the bell housing flange like all other GM motors.
The valve covers clearly indicate Vortec and I did not count the intake bolts, but they are vertical, not canted.I found what I believe is a 1998 4.3 locally with the casting number 14099090M Was there a change between '98 and '99 or '00?My understanding of the 14099090M is that the M denotes metric bellhousing, motor mount and starter mounts, is that an issue if I just switch to the correct fasteners?
