Looks good. Hows the LS compare to the old motor? What exhaust manifolds did you use?

Is that a V drive or jet boat?
How did you plumb the cooling system? Are you running a thermostat?
Are you running a trans? If so, what drive plate are you using?

I have no questions, just a statement.

Beautiful boat, must be a blast to drive. Nice work!

Are the 351 Cleveland exhaust ports & bolt pattern the same? What bellhousing & top or bottom mount starter? Interesting project. I'm a marine guy.

The exhaust ports lineup perfect and some of the bolt holes do, I just drilled and tapped the others for the most part. I have a velvetdrive trans.,chevy bellhousing and the starter that came on the motor.
