This thread is a couple years old, but that is a great find. This may save a whole bunch of folks with similar series engines a lot of grief and money.

I recently replaced the block on my 2002 malibu 5.7l indmar engine. We used the original manifold only to find a leak between the manifold and block which made the oil milky. There is an PFI intake on the market that will work with the 3 bolt throttle body and is sold by a few folks online. It is Indmar 532203MODE. This intake is made for a 4 bolt throttle body, but there are adapter plates readily available which can convert the between the 3 bolt throttle body and 4 bolt intake which allows you to use the existing throttle body, fuel rails and mechanical throttle cable. Be very careful to buy the adapter plate in the correct orientation. There are plates for 3 bolt throttle bodies and 4 bolt intakes and 3 bolt intakes and 4 bolt throttle bodies that look almost identical, you need the plate with 4 recessed holes so the throttle body can sit flush on the plate after it is bolted to the throttle body. The links for the products I used are below:

Excellent commercial credit has been hovering 8.3-8.8% for a while and set to raise.
I was told buy an RV they have been double digits for a while on their lot. Not sure about boats.
banks are scrounging as hard as possible for 3% margin for a while and nobody is borrowing if they can help it.
Oddly I have never had so many marine dealers in our sector call and ask for a few more days to pay bills so they could get AR in and not have to borrow or borrow more on their line for only a few days or a week.
smoker craft employee said they are basically dead. Their winter shut down /break went longer than expect. They anticipated demand coming back a bit come late winter early spring but it’s not there and things are essentially dead and now layoff’s.
Also look no further than Elkhart IN if you want to know how RV and boating is going… …it ain’t good… layoffs everywhere!
If pontoon sector is getting hit harder now that means wake boats are getting destroyed.
And maaaan if I see one more idiotic report about sales $ amount YOY comparison instead of YOY units to compare demand to past years!!
“our cost doubled and we doubled our prices but at least our top line is on par with the past! We’re doing great!”
