Default Closed cooling BBC

Looking myself right now for a tall deck . CP Performance has a set up , I talked to Russ at Mr. Cool , he said a ""off engine " exchanger , I never seen a set up like that in a boat bilge . I would like a full FWC system . You looking for a full or half system?

https://aftermarket.monitorpro.com/p...-kits/mfh-5374 - This is a system from MONITOR I was looking at but the exchanger is 5 1/8 x 22 , don't know if that is big enough for SM manifolds.

https://www.cpperformance.com/p-7979...per-brass.aspx - exchanger is 5 x 33 looking at install diagram

My alternator is on Starboard side not lower Port and I'm not altering the serpentine system. CP system as well says 9.8 deck , and brackets made to mount exchanger to front of heads , again , on my engine the serpentine brackets utilize those holes on heads.

Rebuild 575 SCI's and add closed cooling system This is good to read, his application was even harder because of his SCI engines...but he had many modifications to tackle.

That's a clean looking engine how many hours on it?...........salt water use only?........a full closed cooling system would extend the inside life by double!
