Engine just did not want to fit, console had to be raised 4", the engine was moved back about 3", the risers were about sea level so we decided to put 4" extensions on the risers (of course they don't make 3" anymore), and the oil filter located off to the side in the engine bed. New shaft, cutlass, dripless stuffing box all are installed. We are almost there, just need to install the exhaust and get the harness/Garmins hooked up and talking to the Crusader. Then we can finally sea trial and play with some props.
I was able to snap a few pictures today of the install:
