I know this has been discussed before, but I can't seem to find it in the archives. <br /><br />Why can't I drop an old big block car engine into my boat and maybe upgrade it to a EFI? I know it will rotate in the opposite direction, but can't I just get a counter rotating outdrive? I'll definitely be doing the closed cooling system. What other problems may there be in this?<br /><br />I assume exhaust manifolds will be standard sizes and I'll be able to attach the cooling water to them. Do I need to get another water pump to send the water through the closed system or will the outdrive be able to handle it?<br /><br />Thanks!!<br />Mike
