Thanks for all the responses..

The thing is that i Live in Bermuda and it's hard to find quality mechanics because most people down here run out boards and it's only a few stern drive performance boats.. which r efi's or running the cross over system.
i was running a 7.4l MPI and the engine builder built this motor like the 7.4l so i guess i could swap over things. the only thing is i have to finish the plumbing..and i don't want to drill anything..

but it sounds like i don't have to..thanks for the advive. bear with me if i don't comprehen everything, but in a nut shell.. i can plumb the engine as is. i just block off the top of the cir pump and run the hoses the same way..coming up from oil cooler to front right T- housing- out thru d other side to the bottom left side of the cir pump, which puts water into motor. the other two smaller opening r for the hoses from the exhaust manifolds. what temp would i use for the thermonstat 142, 160, 180.. i think i might be a visual learner..lol but correct me if i wrong, is this right or am i close.
thanks

Plug the circulating pump and drill a 1/8" hole on the thermostat. works fine on mone for 2 years now.

If you have the merc style Thermsotat housings where the water comes the the raw water pump to the Thermostat housing then out to the circ pump that should work ....not sure why you would even need the 1/8' hole ...m

I have the EMI crossover system with thermostat and bypass. I was told to drill the hole in the thermostat to relieve water pressure. Also supposed to decrease temp fluctuation. I drilled the hole and everything works perfect.

thanks for all the input thus far..

Next question what would be a good option for an electric fuel pump min. 6 PSI's or would the stock one work just fine..
i was thinking of going with a Holley Blue pump

thanks

you cant run more 7-8 pounds on the carb ....your going to have to regulate it down if your running the stock MPI pump ..m
