    Making engine beds

    Thanks thats what I used to determine that the beds need to be just to the outside of the front mount thats there now. Question is do I just build the mounts up from the bottom of the boat or do I tye it into the stringers on both sides of the engine well.

    Engine swop ? about Timing

    Ok so I have the boat on the water today doing a little fishing I have a few things to share..

    Engine swop ? about Timing

    The adapter plate is to use my exhust manifold with a late model 1998 and above head... and from what I can tell with the heads listed 1 is for a 2.5. 63-89 1 is for a 3.0. 68-94 thus would be mine I believe 1 is for a 3.0lx. 90-97 And the last 1 is for a 98 and above 3.0 small port head

    Engine swop ? about Timing

    So I should set initial timing at 2° ATDC ? That would get my base timing to 14° Also according to the image below with points this engine (1988) should be 6° base and a total spark advance of 35° at 2000 rpm would the total spark advance still be relevant with the est

    That's what I was trying to find out I don't have a manual for the 88 engine and not sure what the timing should be but I feel like if its 16 degrease with out advancing the when it advances its going to be to high
