Has anybody swapped Merc MCM-E with Velvet Drives 1018-014 with TRS/Speed master tail stocks assemblies? I could use some help please. Have the bell-housings, dampers, coolers, lines, gears, and tail stocks. It looks like needed are mount brackets for rear support off gears? And we have the room to move engines forward. Mike

Scarab 454 engines are out - turns out the transom plate has mounting pattern that fits perfectly to TR2 tail-stock adapter. And it looks like the input shaft and u-joint needs to change from female spline to male spline. Now comes the question of the trim/tilt lock out device - how is that adapted to the TR2 tail-stock? Any info is greatly appreciated.
