    Old iron is out!!!!!!!

    Things are getting serious Now!!!!! Well after a year of stressing and planning it was finally time to make the leap. Out with the old! The fit was tight on the oil pan so I made a detailed template to check. 1.5" clearance on the outboard oil pan. I would have liked more but that's ok. Now lots of cleaning and scrubbing while I wait for the new iron. I'm committed now or is that I should be committed now. I guess either one works! Going to be posting the old 12v71N cores and transmission also complete Hynautic control systems if any interIMG_20190819_092523171_HDR.jpgIMG_20190819_150708288.jpgIMG_20190819_120627377.jpgest.

    oh wow. Been right where you are twice with our old 50c. What engines are you going with? Searched the forum but didn't find anything.

    Nice to be able to get the crane in. When we pulled the 8V71s from my 53 MY we had to use A frames and a rail to bring them to the aft deck!
