Nice motor there Crowsbeak!

Thanks Dale!  Looking forward to trying to get it to look 1/2 as good as yours.

Thanks for the heads up Dave.  I’m hoping maybe one of our members may have a matched set from a donor motor they can part with in response to my classified ad.

Another question, the Red Book mentions an upgraded water pump housing for the big twins with a stainless baffle added but doesn’t list a part number and marine engine doesn’t show a superseded version but does mention two impellor sizes.  I have the original water pump version so wonder if anyone has had trouble running that old style pump?
