311 motor build step one
 

I posted in another thread that the new mills would be 572s. Not true. I thought I had tall deck blocks to start with but no. Just have to settle with 540s for now. Get to clean up her belly.

Been there and done that Dustin. That shot of the engines in the back of the truck looks really familiar. Make sure you give everything a good once-over while the motors are out. Transom assy, gimble housing, steering tiller, water transfer hose in transom assy, Bravo lower shift cables. Even some of the ancillary things - bilge pump, drive oil bottles, control/steering cables, wiring. I know it sounds like a lot and it will start to eat into your wallet a little but you'll be glad you did it while the bilge was empty!
