I have a 2001 challenger2000 that came with a mercury 2.5L sport jet motor that was stolen off the base plate. Can i fill that empty hole with any mercury 2.5L with about the same HP or does it need to be the 240 sport jet motor.
Yes, The powerhead is identical whether its a 210hp or 240hp. At Mercury Marine... all powerheads were manufactured the same i.e. 210hp. Then, some were modified to be a 240EFI. Either the 210hp or the 240hp EFI will fit on your M2 Jet Pump.
The M2 Jet Pump was designed by Mercury Marine as well. Whether or not it can be maited with another 2.5L... I wouldn't know. A while back there were a few used powerheads forsale. I recommend you first look for a 210hp or 240hp Mercury Marine powerhead before you start thinking about another manufacturer.
