Re: [omc-boats] Small Block Chevy V8's

David,

I will try to locate a picture or drawing of the two different types of engine mounts used on the V6's so you can compare it to the floor-mount V8.

  Hi Lee,
  I would have to dig up the title for the year - but it was originally a V4 2 cycle - I put a V6 in it back about 13 years ago - that V6 had the old front motor mount, as I recall it had a few bolt holes for adjusting the drive trim? and I put a large aluminum plate across the boat - 1/4" thick 12" wide and bolted that to the floor then mounted the motor mounts to it - it worked our very well - now with the V8, I intend to pull the floor and glass in a structure to hold the newer aluminum floor mount - I am assuming the engine with that mount will line up? since the V6 with the old mount did? but guess I'll find out about that when I work on it.

    David,

    What year is your 17 Deluxe? What engine was in it originally? Just curious if it had the stern or floor mounts?

      I have a 307 from my Rogue - I pulled it and scraped the boat out - was a nice rig but I wanted the engine to put in my 17' Deluxe - it is in there now, but just sitting - not mounted etc. - no time - but it is a great engine - Rochester quad that sucks gas on the top end, but cruising was ok on gas.

        Hi,

        I'm curious if anyone on this list has experience running a Chevy V8 with an OMC sterndrive?

        The 307 or the later 305 or 350?
