Same here. I've done it many times, pulling AND installing engines, with drives still installed, on both TRS, and SSM plug in setups. I actually find it EASIER, to guide the shaft into the tailstock when installing the engines, vs trying to guide the shaft in, when installing the outdrive.

hmmm never tried, I hang my drives from engine hoist so to me its easy to do drives, I always thought you had to pull them....I figured it would suck to put engines back in....

As long as you have enough room, which your Cig does, to move the engines forward while pulling, its no problem. I usually will hang the engine, so it wants to lean towards the transom when installing, then pull it towards bow while its hanging from hoist, insert penis, then let engine lean back towards transom again. Have a buddy rotate the prop shaft, and adjust engine height a tad while he is doing that, and usually the penis slides right in.

I'm trying to make it easier for you to understand, in laymans terms. I know a penis is something you can relate to. :cartman:

Yeah have to see, I am running 70 to 72 now with mirage plus 23s. We'll find out when they go back in I guess.

Spent 10 years trying to hit 80 in a 311, takes perfect combo.... the boat ran perfect and it was tough to do. once you get 75 anything over is just that much harder..

Yeah I know they take a lot to get beyond 75. I spin stock 25 mirage + to about 70 @4900 rpms now. They are a bit slower on the top end than the 23s, but the slip is quite low. I like the cruise with the 25s, about 50 @35-3600. I figure between the heads/cam and labbing props if I can gain 600rpm and turn them 5500 that would be nice. Once I start putting it back together, I'll probably start a thread. It's not one of the big money, big cubic inch threads, but still interesting for some I'm sure.

454's or 502's? All build threads are good lots of good info here.
