Engine ID

That looks like the right PCM pump mount and in the picture below you can tell that you have the right timing chain cover with the bosses for that bracket to mount. Right where the ground cable is bolted to is the spot it mounts.

You're making some good progress figuring things out

So it's looking like the engine in there is from a pleasurecraft from what I can tell. I tried rearranging the front accessories to be setup interceptor style since I seem to have all the brackets for that but the fuel pump interferes with the raw water pump. I'm thinking it may be easiest to set it up pleasurecraft style but I don't seem to have the raw water pump or bracket for that. I found this listing on ebay, which I know has the correct pump housing, but can anyone identify the bracket? I messaged the seller and he isn't sure what it came off.

If that isn't correct, does anyone have a line on where I could get this bracket from?

Ted I think Pete's just testing me, he does that every now and then That gear says it's a reverse rotation engine, so if that distributor came out of the engine in your earlier pictures, your engine is reverse rotation and I figure it's got an electronic conversion in it too. (2 wires from the distributor to the coil as compared to points with just one wire.)

Ken.
No, it wasn't a test. I goofed up with my forward and back slashes! Anyway, I knew you'd be along and correct me if needed. Thanks.

Ted,
I know Ken with confirm but from the looks of the gear on the distributor, I feel you have a standard rotation engine.

I have what I believe to be the original engine which is in pieces, and another engine that has been mostly installed in the boat. I'm having some trouble sorting out the plumbing and wiring and I think it would be helpful to figure out exactly what type of engine the new one is. I have a set of valve covers with interceptor 190hp on them. I believe these were from the original engine. I'm having trouble finding any identifying markings on the newer engine and am hoping for some help. I will post some pics I have taken too.

It looks like one of those "mixed breed"pound puppies

Figuring that you know it's a small block Ford engine, it has some Pleasurecraft parts like the thermostat housing and some Interceptor parts like the exhaust manifolds.

With you not knowing much about it, you maybe don't know if it's a Reverse Rotation engine which would have been original or a Normal Rotation auto engine that got installed with a bunch of marine parts from the original engine. Some hints about rotation would be a picture of the prop or writing down the firing order, but if you were to remove the distributor and take a picture of the gear that would tell you for sure if the engine internally is set up for Reverse or Normal rotation.

The Ford casting number on the block inboard and a little above the starter should be able to tell you the engine size and year built. It's easier to read if the starter is off the engine.

There could be a whole lot of if's like whether the rear main seal arrangement is right for the engine rotation, whether the starter will be turning it the right way.

Also, you must have a raw water pump somewhere in the pile of extra parts, the fuel pump is an AC dual diaphragm marine pump, the carburetor may or may not be marine, the alternator has an external regulator and is "probably" a marine Prestolite. The circ pump on the engine looks like an aluminum automotive pump too. Other little things are noticeable, but this is a start anyways


You most likely have a lot of work in front of you to get things figured out but the forum will get you there. Don't be afraid to ask questions
