Cranks will be different 80 vs. 92, so they wont interchange. Rear main seal area is different- wick lines are on the seal on the later blocks, and on the crank on the earlier style. Other than...

On a bigger boat, I would lean towards a 13x13 Acme being what you need, a 13x14 Acme would...

Goodyear Destination AT's? You sure you arent mixing and matching brands and models? Firestone makes Destination AT's, not Goodyear.
