I just got the motor back today and I have a few minor problems. One is that the exhuast is to close to the valve covers. I was wondering if I could double up with some copper exhuast gaskets to make up for this. I am only off by under an 1/8 of an inch. Is this advisable. If not I am going to have to change valve covers.
Second, my mercruiser throttle bracket is a shad to thin. I may have to tap the manifold for these to screw in but I do not want to go down this road. I am having trouble finding an aftermarket setup so I may have to custom make a fitting .One for the carb studs and another peice of metal to screw in the throttle arm. Any advice as always would be great. Check out www.racesearch.com (http://www.racesearch.com) seems to be pretty good.
Hope to see you all at the Lake george event. Thanks!
