I was internet surfing last nite, and found this:

What do you guys think?
Being that I just stuck the clutch in the upper of my IMCO SC drive due to heat, I found this to be interesting.

It ended up that I did not damage the outdrive... The bolt in the shift shaft backed out, and was sitting in the rear of the upper case. 
Did not touch the gears. Lucky I did not trim up when I came in, or it would have fallen forward into the gearset.
Anyway... I am running a 28 ft Nordic Heat with a 600sci and a stage II Whipple upgrade. Aprox 750hp thru an IMCO SC outdrive. I was running a 28 pitch, 5 blade Hering prop at 15.5" diameter, and doing 94.1 mph at 5600 rpm. Needless to say... slip was in the 6% range. When It would not shift into neutral or reverse.. I asssumed that I had finally roasted the clutch because I could still easily move the shifter, and I had loaded it pretty darn hard.
I am still interested in a drive cooler.

Here's my setup that I got from Mr. Gadgets and mounted last fall. I did mount an oil thermostat a couple of weeks ago as well, to be able to take advantage of the filtration part of the system and still keep the oil at the correct temp.
I'm still during break in so I have kept it out of boost and only 4000rpms so I can't really giva any feedback of the setup yet.
