a. k. a. closed cooling system.
2 big boxes awaited me when I arrived home today. My FWC kits for the Mercruiser 7.4's . . . they were a little heavy . . . 60 lbs. each.
Of course, I had to open them up and take a peek at the parts and instructions . . .
These kits are the 'Full' system kits from San Juan Engineering . . . They cool both the engine and the manifolds. So, this should give my engines some longevity in the salt water.
A nice thing about the engines that I have is that the elbows are stainless steel . . . so coolant will be running through the iron exhaust manifolds and sea water running out the SS elbows.
This project will have to wait a week or so, as I am headed to Seattle on business next week.
