Its a pretty involved change. I'm not aware of any kits. Is there a good reason to make the change? Seems torturous and expensive with little upside.

Jim thank you for the information, you made my decision. Can you help me with my next decision? Your expertise would be greatly appreciated.

Twin 555 CI
750HP
large custom Sea Strainers

Should I use a dual cooler (trans & oil) with each engine or should I have two single coolers for each engine?

i'd use two seperate coolers on that

Gentlemen we do offer a serpentine drive kit that has become the standard for many professional engine builders today. In order to do this system it just doesn't really justify due to cost unless you have nothing already since it comes with every accessory as well. There is no way to convert an existing v-belt system effectively. Just thought I would post you an example. http://www.hardin-marine.com/detail~ID~1115.aspx

Since you don't have stock power you should use two separate. I think trannies use about a 12" cooler and the engine needs a least that. Don't think you can find a combo big enough for what your doing.

Jim,
Thank you for the quality information, it is greatly appreciated. I checked out your race pictures and read your bio. Congradulations on your big wins!!! Great luck with finding some sponsors and getting back behind the wheel! Again thank you for the help!!!

The picture on your website does not do that kit justice. Here is what I think is a better picture.
