    your motor and drive will weigh in about 750# your hull without motor is about 700# from what I found. then add weight of battery, fuel, gear, etc. the bunks should just pass the transom

    Raw water pump 7.4 454

    Agree that the crank driven raw water pump will work better than the mercruiser one. Cant beat the carter universal marine fuel pump, relay, and oil pressure switch for the fuel pump as well.

    lifter issue and rock arm registration

    with non-adjustable valve train on the 4.3, just snug up each of the rocker fulcrums to the stop location on the stud. then torque to 20 ft-lb (27 Nm) you get a better torque reading if each cylinder is brought up to TDC on its own. however with non-adjustable, I just zip them on with the...
