Re: Like a challange? Here's mine: 2000 5.0 to 79 302 engine swap.
BTY JustJason, I also never asked how to complete my power plant or what do you think of my plan
Okay... no biggie, here's what you need to buy to make that mousewheel work in your boat.
1. new exhaust manifolds
2. new risers
3. probably a coupler
4. a new/used bellhousing if you can find one
5. the motor mounts will need a looking at, as well as your boat.
6. bracketry to get your old remote controlls to work on that motor
7. either hard wire, or cut the old cannon plug off your old motor and refit it to the new one.
8. if this motor is really 365hp (which it's not) you then need to re-gear your outdrive and then prop it accordingly.
9. a cast iron intake manifold to replace the aluminum one that's on there.
10. 3 sets of crossed fingers hoping that it's going to work and not suck water into the cylinders.
And that's just what i can think of off the top of my head.
I really don't care about your plan nor your powerplant, but what your looking to do just isn't feasable unless you absolutely have an open wallet with money to burn. There are way more cost effective ways to get you more power. Cancel your ebay auction, don't pay for it, or return it. If the specs on that motor are even correct (which i doubt), it's not spec'd correctly to run in a boat.
Now if your looking for somebody to pat you on the back, say good job, say go for it... then you best run back to your mum and pop.
We are civil around here, but we don't hold hands, and your plan isn't going to work like your already preconcieved notion of it thinks it is.
