Yup lol !
Motor fits just fine in the hatch with the blower and arrestor , although it would not fit in with the accessories on I also had to take the crank pulley off . When lifting it in . All said and done i have about an inch and a half clearance from the front of the bottom belt pulley to the front of the engine bay . I will try to post some vids , let me know how it goes .

I hear ya on the clearance issue. I had to turn the 454 Mag 90 degrees to get her out with the crank pulley still attached.
Videos please!
I know you're prop testing and all, but a 22 Bravo seems a little backward sliding. I was running a 23P Mirage with the Mag, and seeing mid to upper 50's without any kind of tune and crap/old fuel. I would guess a jump to a 25P would be the direction.
How does she run? What's timing at?

Yes I know on the prop just can't get my hands on one soon enough, tomorrow will be the last time I take it out going to be 70's then Saturday 40 with low in the 30's . Already winterized other boat .
The motor runs great starts up everytime really no issues , wish I did have a few props to try before the winter , but I'm still gonna go wake up half the town early in the morning tomorrow with a few wide open rips right prop or not ! I will make a few videos for ya !

Hey Matjluk, I know the weather hasn't been too great to get out for video and such, but would you mind getting some bilge pics for me? I'm curious to see how everything fits. I also misplaced the pics I took previous to all the work done on the boat, and pics from another LS would really help!
Thanks,
Tom

Oooooo that is nice , that could be a lot of power if ya want ! I think the biggest pain in is wiring it up other than that its easy . I put a 10 pin harness to the dash in mine cause the motor came with a 10 pin , really wish I stayed with the 9 pin in the boat and changed the motor harness , still can't get any of my gauges to work and gonna have to spend a bunch of time figuring out why .
