I was hoping to find some Merc 575SC tops complete with blowers & throttle bodies. None seem to be moving around. May look for some whplles or go bigger

I used 3/4 inch lines on my oil cooler and thermostat. The cooler didn't have a built-in thermostat so I used a Hardin Marine billet filter block/thermostat. The set-up worked really well, but spent a fortune on Russell hoses and fittings to make it look pretty!

Well you accomplished your goal of making it look real nice.

Good looking engine. I could open the candsspecialties.com url but the holly.com url would not open.

In your picture showing your oil cooler, are the 90* angle water fittings 1" NPT/1 1/4" hose nipple? If yes where did you get them?

Any idea what this floor mount hold down assembly is comprised of and where it can be purchased?

Thanks for all your help.

Sorry I can't help much with the mount. The Tbolt clamps are made to the floor mounts. I'm sure CPperformance or Eddie Marine carry something like them.
