Hello

I am finally ready next week to drop this motor in. Anyways I wanted to ask if anybody has done FWC on a small block and what kit is the best? I am going to switch to the bravo drive this winter so the alpha is only good for one season tops. Actually probably a few runs


Thanks
Tory :D

I have done a fresh water cooling package on both a 350 and now my 454 Mercruiser. It's absolutely great. However, if you are going to do it, put it on before you ever put salt water through the engine, or your fresh water cooling won't be as affective. Mercruiser makes a nice package, about $1200 for the 454 block.

We installed a Mercruiser fresh water cooling kit on our 18 Classic with a 350 Mag in it and we are completely satisfied with the results. We have the kit which cools the block only and that way we did not have to add an additional water pump and through hull fitting.
