Re: engine removal

If you have enough room to go straight forward, just do that. Else you'll need to take the outdrive out. Putting it back in is gonna be the tough part.<br /><br />I'd just take the outdrive out anyway...<br /><br />I'm almost done my 3.0 -> 5.7 swap, and my outdrive is last to bolt up..<br /><br />-- Joe

Welcome to iboats.
You need to start your own thread. This one is old and it?s about an OMC Cobra drive. It will get confusing if people start answering because nobody will be really sure to whom they are answering to.
Take a look at the "adults only" sticky it has manuals to your engine and drive.
