    Raw water cooling question

    The 71C pump can be rotated so it can be used on LH or RH motors. I'm thinking (will cause some rework) change to direct mount the transmission to the motor. Would need to change the motor/trans mounts, but could be installed as one unit. This would be a larger undertaking, but the end result I...
