    The 78 carbs are probably from a 55hp two cylinder, so they may not be compatible with the 73 50hp, the powerhead design was changed slightly in 1976 bumping the hp up to 55.
    I would look for carbs from a 1971-1975 OMC 50hp long shaft model. You are going to need many other bits/pieces besides just the carbs, so I would look for a junk engine of that vintage that will easily supply all the needed parts.
