Default Transom Help

I have decided to replace the transom on my 1979 Formula 255 later this year and I am really considering going back in with dual power. Kaamaman has agreed to make a pattern of his transom but his drives are #1s and mine are TRS. Will the drive pattern be close enough to work, or will I be back to square one trying to figure out the x, y, and z placements?? Any comments or suggestions?

Thanks
Steven

You will be back to square one. If you are doing big blocks the drive centers are 30" MINIMUM. I can give you height that my 302 is off the bottom but I would go higher then that if I was you.

Thanks for the help Jon. If I decide to go that way I will PM you for the measurements if that is OK.
