Gaining some confidence in this project.
Sourced long blocks from Jasper and First Mate and looks like Jasper may offer the better package on a long block. They claim they dyno every motor and some say they call for tighter balancing specs. Also have 2 year unlimited hours warranty and they also re-manufacture stern drives. Still concerned about the drive compatability and the mounting set-up. I have found a later ('81) 165 in CA and may use that as a donor/parts motor or try it out if it proves to be solid. Boat, trailer, engine and MC 1 drive for under a grand sounds reasonable, I guess... Any more thoughts on mating the 165 to an Alpha and what needs to be done?
