recently bought this engine,at first i thought it was missing most of the parts,but after piecing it together seems that only carb(top flange that goes into block has butterfly,have float arm,adj needle,needle valve,plug,another butterfly and shaft possibly a choke?,top base of carb is cast iron & has 4 screw holes for float bowl to attach),water pump,timer drive shaft are all that are missing,intake manifold is integrally cast into the engine block,has zerts on the mains,but wondering how the pistons were oiled,(oilers?,pump,or just mix oil with gas?)serial number is stamped on top of rim of flywheel and reads 55785,year,model,make,source for missing parts or pictures & dimensions on what is missing so i can make what i need,thanks,newbie to marine engines,have looked throught this site and did not find anything exactly like this(some similar,but nothing exact)

Looks just like the Ferro in the posting I made yesterday under the heading of Elco @ Clayton. |
