Printable Version of Topic -HD Forums +--Forum: Boat Tech +---Topic: Engine Install started by Wriedtjet Posted by: Wriedtjet on Feb. 29 2004,11:38 am I am in the middle of reconstuction on my boat and had new stringers and floor put in and need to remount engine. I assume the engine needs to be as dead on as you can get it, correct? Posted by: GoFastRacer on Feb. 29 2004,12:21 pm What kind of driveline do you have?, solid or u-joint?. If you have a solid one you have to be dead nuts but if you have a u-joint, check out this article it explains the basics of a u-joint driveline!. < Driveline Basics! > Posted by: BigBoyToys on Feb. 29 2004,1:10 pm <00FFFF'>Yes, deadon as you can get it.  I do it the easy way, hand my wife the wrench and sit down and watch!   Posted by: Mrs big boy toys on Feb. 29 2004,1:14 pm <00FFFF'>Yea MrBBT is a slave driver...     Posted by: AZKC on Feb. 29 2004,1:53 pm If you have the same luck I had with the motor and pump out it gets interesting Posted by: GoFastRacer on Feb. 29 2004,5:28 pm ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- Yes, deadon as you can get it.  I do it the easy way, hand my wife the wrench and sit down and watch!   -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- Smart move there Ace , one "K" motor slipping away!..   Posted by: BigBoyToys on Feb. 29 2004,5:35 pm ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- Yes, deadon as you can get it.  I do it the easy way, hand my wife the wrench and sit down and watch!   -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- Smart move there Ace , one "K" motor slipping away!..   -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- <00FFFF'>No...really.  Mrs BBT is proud of the fact that she can pull/install a boat motor.  She's done it many times and had a great teacher     Posted by: GoFastRacer on Feb. 29 2004,5:45 pm Well I guess I should have looked at your Avatar , I take it that's your boat!.That means the motor is all the way back and you're using an H-Bar so that means you will need to be pretty well dead on, just remember though that any angle will have to be constant or you'll get a vibration!..   Posted by: GoFastRacer on Feb. 29 2004,5:46 pm ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- Yes, deadon as you can get it.  I do it the easy way, hand my wife the wrench and sit down and watch!   -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- Smart move there Ace , one "K" motor slipping away!..   -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- No...really.  Mrs BBT is proud of the fact that she can pull/install a boat motor.  She's done it many times and had a great teacher     -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- Oh yeah, "Yea MrBBT is a slave driver" well I see a message here!..   Posted by: Big H on Feb. 29 2004,11:52 pm Actually it's good info. I'm in the middle of pulling a hydro-locked 460 and swapping for my 454. Needed a real motor. I'm not fixing no stinking Ford Myself included needs good info on the setting up of motor mount angles. Checked the link above already...anything else available?   Posted by: GoFastRacer on Mar. 01 2004,4:59 am ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- Actually it's good info.

Posted by: Big H on Mar. 01 2004,11:59 pm 5am posting...dude talk about early rising. It's midnight for me so you can see how my schedule goes. I'll get you a pic...19' Caribbean, Jacuzzi 12WJ Interior, motor, and accessories are out to finish cleanup for 454 install. Posted by: GoFastRacer on Mar. 02 2004,4:29 am We'll be watching for them!.. Posted by: Wriedtjet on Mar. 03 2004,7:35 pm I guess I should check my post more often.. I have a u-joint setup, which in my mind is going to be a weak point, but I am only running 340 hp. What do you guys think? Should I go solid or not? Getting engine dead on is a pain with solid mounts but is ok.. I am used to doing them in v-drives and straight drive inboards here. Some as big as 1200 hp MAN diesels with 12" shaft couplings and 4 inch shafts.. Thanks Posted by: GoFastRacer on Mar. 03 2004,7:47 pm I'm sure you just have an H-Bar, that will be fine with that power. They are capable of a lot more!.. end
