what a nightmare

Got starboard side in, left the trannie on that one
will have to take off port trannie off to install.....
man no room whatsoever, 33 centers is tight wow.... i had to mill the gils down for clearance........extend the alt bracket it hits the manifolds.....i keep telling myself this is fun ...
i think i'm going to make a trap door under rear seat for easier access to the front of the motors.....

i'm gonna need a little help figuring out how to plumb the tee's
that sit on the front of the manifolds, i know the up side goes up to the riser , but do i connect the two water ports facing front to each other or block them off???????

convincor

Change the Tee's to strait fittings.

WoW , i fired up starboard motor tonight... the thing didn't miss a beat, very chrisp and strong, she is dialed....., i might just make it for next weekend.........
