1973 302w

I have just purchased a 73 jolly roger with a 302w mercruiser stern drive. The engine sat for 6 years and was seized. I removed the spark plugs and filled the cylinders with marvel mystery oil. Luckily for me the engine turned over the next day. Changed oil new plugs and wires and it fired right up. I have 85 psi oil and it runs great. The intake manifold is cracked at the thermostat housing so I am replacing that today. Is there any thing else that I should look at?
