The above info is for a ford.......chevy would be a hair different

It'll work for olds too......

I thought closet drinkers drank Vodka because other people can't smell it? This stinks, now I have to go buy some Vodka to try and figure it out! 

They also drink it cause they can put it in a water bottle and it looks like their drinkn water.

is that a 3x3 or 4x4? I had the double double meal for lunch today!

Are you kiding theres no room for veggies on a 4x4...just grilled onions

While you're thinking about transmissions in boats... someone was telling me you can add a trans to a jet boat for a better holeshot and top speed. I'm thinking if it were that easy it would be really common to see transmissions in jet boats. What's JBP .02, fact or B.S.?

I'll call BS, just think of all the dissadvantages, jets are instant rpms it would shift b4 it got on plane, moving the engine forward, adding weight, plus trannys rob HP.



But in a v-drive

With my diverter, I bought the underslung reverser style, so I need to drill holes in my transom adapter to move the cable from right to left.

1) Is there a different transom adapter I can use that I wouldn't have to modify , IE 12jE or something (unsure of the number)? I am thinking maybe just buy a new transom adapter that is in great shape already ready to go to save time and money.

So you got the low profile style diverter, correct?  If so there aren't any Berkeley transom adapters with the cable exit on the left (that I know of), but there are some that don't have a hole or a boss for the cable ( some of the original A and B pumps were that way).

Josh, do you know if a bellhousing rear mount from a Berkeley would work on a Jacuzzi?

If it's the berkeley bellhousing that sits on the bearing cap it will not. 

Typically that driveline is used with a bellhousing with a borg warner pattern, then the jacuzzi mount (saddle, shown below) bolts to that and is suspended by two rubber coushions

Does your engine have the rear mount with a saddle to sit on top of 2 pump/suction housing bolts and a mid mount ?  if thats the case its not the splines that are the problem its the over all length thats the issue.  Those set ups use this DL



if not you should be to use a standard 1310 DL with corosponding PTO

Greg ,may not want to sell it now might go after the Comp jet points with the little beast 

After you got that down you could drop back and pick off some of the nj class with your "Tahiti Custom Sprint Jet"

Good to see ya over here Duane! Conversly I've been meaning to signup on THB for a while now also .  It's on my to do list.

But there is nothing more satisfying than blowing by a BBC owner, especially when they converted over from an olds I did it a few times last summer and it almost better than sex

Try blowing off a v-drive with any jet, they don't like it

Get the boat level side to side and the keel level front to back.  Get yourself an angle finder( the one below will work or you can get something fancier).   If you have a large gap to fill I'd definetly use the leveling bolts, otherwise the intake may sag before the epoxy sets.  Mix up plenty of epoxy you don't want to run out in the middle.  If its a hot day WORK FAST! the epoxy will set up very quick.  Get the front of the intake in where you want it then crank the back up or down to set your degree.  It doesnt hurt to mock it up dry, this will get it real close and help aproximate the amount of epoxy you have to lay down.

Wife and i are having a disagreement on this and im right,   She's wrong

I haven't been married long, but something is telling me that statment isn't true....you might want to check your sources

That was the other thing I was thinking of doing, cutting a bit off of the bowl - but I figured that would be more trouble than adding a stuffer. Any thoughts either way?

Adding a stuffer is reversable, cutting the bowl is not. Just keep in mind future rebuilds, upgrades or mods.
