Mercruiser V6 seized from Rodent Damange

My advice is to go get everything and bring it home. Buy a book about rebuilding Chevy V6 or small block V8 engines (the 4.3 V6 is a 350 V8 with two missing cylinders) and rebuild the short block. It's not hard to do and the parts (pistons, rings, bearings, gaskets and seals), and machine work are very inexpensive. I'd be happy to lend you an engine stand and some of the specialized tools. I don't use them very often.
