Just so you guys know, the 48 and earlier motors circulated the water different to the 49 and newer motors so when you change the heads you have to do some fiddling with the holes in the block to prevent heating problems. I forget which holes are involved. If you find a 255 Merc engine the crank and rods and pistons will fit in the 48 style engine. I suppose you don't get those Merc engines down under though. Theres always ebay.
