hi, guys im new to boating but not to mechanal stuff so ill give this a try im wanting to install a a lq4 6.0 im my baja im place for the blown up big block i got with the boat could someone tell me what bell housing flywheel and coupler to buy to hook up to my bravo 1 thanks

Belhousing is the same as a regular chev bit your block uses metric bolts.You need a stick flywheel for your motor and just use a standard merc bravo coupler,You may have to have your stick flywheel drilled to match it . Not sure if they are drilled the same.You also will need the kit so you can use the standard chev side motor mounts,summit end jegs sell them.Make sure you can get exhaust manifolds first I here they are big $$$$$ JOHN SR

thank you im making the exhaust myself so thats not a problem it was just coupling the lq4 to the bravo. What do you think i should do for cooling raw water or seperate closed cooling remember this engine is all iron and im not looking to do aluminum heads or anything in the future.

YOU are going to run all raw water cooling is that what you are saying.If so I think you have serpentine belts. If so get a later modal merc sea pump that is serpentine belt and make a bracket.And I think that block uses reverse flow cooling but I'm not sure on that.You could run a crank drive volvo type pump but I don't think the balancer on them motors has bolt holes in the like a reg chev. JOHN SR

how about a serpentine drive volvo penta pump and make a bracket for that. Should i also put a sea strainer on also my boat never came with one i thought it would be a good idea?
