Thank You all for the replies. I started this post when I first got the boat and engines. I never worked on a engine newer than 1957. Now I have to learn a 1962 engine. I could see the similarities to an earlier 1950’s Big Twin. I just wanted to make sure this was a good engine without any quirky design or mechanical issues before investing any money. I went to Marine Engine.com and looked at the parts breakdown to familiarize myself with the mechanics. Looks pretty basic .I was not going to try to swap out the generator from electric shift to the other engine. Both engines are complete with all wiring ,solenoid boxes and controls and in good cosmetic shape. The regular mechanical shift 40 HP. is for a 15inch transom which is what I need for the boat. The electric shift 40 HP. is for a 20 inch transom so I will probably just try to sell it complete with shifter control,wiring and solenoid box. Regards Bill,
