Ya I will be doing a full motor swap on this one for sure. ?

Sorry, I just noticed the 1990 model year tag. Definitely a 351. probably the only powertrain available that year.

Sometimes you can get lucky on greatlakesskipper.com. I would make sure tower info is correct. https://www.greatlakesskipper.com/boat-mooring-cover-spr101-ski-centurion-s-21-supreme-2014-w-skylon-t2-tower

With some motivation from other posts that I have seen on this forum, I decide to add a fresh water-line to my engine so that I won't have to use a Fake-A-Lake anymore. For reference, my boat is a 2009 Avalanche with a Mercruiser Black Scorpion engine. This is what I did in case others would like to make the same modification: 1) Remove the water in-take to the V-drive (which comes directly from the sea-water intake on the bottom of the boat) 2) Swapped out the elbow for a TEE (1" on all ports) 3) Added a 1"to 3/4" reducer 4) Added a 3/4" ball valve 5) Added 3/4" female garden hose adapter All these parts were purchased from Lowes. Although it is not shown in the pictures, there is already a ball-valve at the sea-water inlet. To run fresh water, I do the following now: 1) Connect a garden hose and open the new 3/4" ball-valve 2) Turn on the water to the garden hose 3) Start the engine 4) Close the ball-valve at the sea-water inlet Works like a charm! Makes running anti-freeze through it way easy.
