    Just an FYI, the Mercruiser engines are made by General Motors. They use the chevy small block and large block engines with marinzed components. Despite the name, Mercury Marine engines aren't made by Ford, it's been years since Ford made any marine engines.

    I just replaced the IAC valve on my 2003 SX21 5.0L. It is a chevy motor but the IAC valve is the same one that is used on a Lincoln LS (Ford)
