Motorstate is currently out of stock of these. As well as most places.

MSD and Crane both recommend using anti-vibration mounts and not to mount to engine. I still mount mine to the engine but the mount bracket has rubber bushings and the boxes are mounted to the bracket the same way.

I mounted mine on the transom between the exhaust. It's only about 10" from the coil and distributor. I used hanger bolts (screw on one end and regular threads on the other and put a rubber bushing in between the box and the boat.

Hey Don!
Right now just rebuilding the HP500's. New Heads/Cams and intakes. Should be around 550 maybe 600HP if I'm lucky.
Winter project will be to either supercharge these or just find new power. I'd like to just get the boat in the water this year.

When you mount it spend some time and relocate the stock components nearby. You can then plug n play between them if the Crane box fails. Only need to carry the spare rotor then. I have run my used Crane box for years and it still works fine.
