470 Small transom bracket

Leedanger said:

I have a boat without a motor, supposedly it used to have a either a 470 or 170 in it but that is just hearsay. What I do know is that the transom bracket is narrower than what I am used to seeing. I found a pretty nice 3.0L I'd like to put in it but the flywheel plate measures 15" apart vs. the 10" on the installed transom bracket.

Anybody have any good options for making this work?

Are you saying its as easy as just locating an Alpha 1 flywheel cover and putting it onto the 3.0L? Will it fit? Thanks.
