Does anyone have experience installing the turnkey Michigan Motorz MM5700SP or MM5700MPI engine into an early '80s 2001? I'm considering it and curious if anyone has tackled that project already. If so, did you run into any sticky issues or do you have any general comments?

Doing like to like shouldn't pose any issues regardless where you get the engine package as long as you're transferring the accessory drive from one engine to the other. Issues that typically come up on any older boat is corrosion across the either swap with motor mount being at the top of the list since they sit so low in the boat. The next area would be the condition of the stringers. There are only 2 types of wood strings I've ever seen, the ones that are rotted and the ones that are going to rot someday. I would be looking really good at them before the engine swap and soaking down all the fasteners and in particular the engine mounts with penetrating oil well before the planed engine swap.
