marinising a 2.5 td transit engine

Ayuh,... What's That,..?? never heard of a TD Transit motor,..??

i have a merc z leg

Mercruiser has Never built an outdrive called the Z drive,... Whatcha talkin' about...

Basically,... If a motor Hasn't already been used in a boat,....
It's Not really a Doable thing....
Mainly, Wet exhaust manifolds are the most serious Issue to deal with....

I am guessing overseas, so anything could be possible from Merc.

If TD is turbo diesel, then like Bondo said your two big hurdles are the physical mounting and the exhaust.
