Re: New repowering project... does exhaust really need to be cooled?
And regarding attachment of the outdrive, I do not have any special adapters... I will cut the bellhousing of the transmission about 4 inches or so away from the engine (retaining the starter mount). I will fabricate a mount to connect the cut bellhousing to the transom mount. For the flywheel, I will have it machined to accept the original drive plate. Both of the forward engine mounts will obviously need to be fabricated as well.
