5.7 mercruiser conversion in Bayliner 192

[Aaron Johnson wa]

Hi everyone
The underpowered 192 Bayliner is getting a transplant with a 5.7 litre Mercruiser
She's a sexy fit but came a croppa with the front engine mount plates/ brackets
Is there anything manufactured for this application , it's the only thing I didn't think of and holding me back
Has anyone else attempted this?
Any help or advice would be appreciated
Thank you for your time, Cheers!

first, the drive should be off. it is 20 times harder to install a motor with the drive and you have to remove the drive to align the motor anyway. so save yourself a headache and pull the drive

second, not sure a bayliner is worth hitek exhaust manifolds.

third, you have to fabricate and fiberglass mounts into the boat if it didnt have the longer mounts for a V8

4th, if you had a motor other than a V8, you will need to swap the drive for a correct ratio drive.

Hey mate, thank you for your time
She was running a 3 litre mercruiser with a not very old Alfa 1 leg ,
The exhaust was already on the motor
Came out of a leader
And looks like fab and fiberglass is going to be the way to go even for the extra strength

going from the 2:1 ratio of the 3 liter to the required 1.47:1 ratio for the 5.7 will require a different drive ratio.

If you need guidance on the fiberglass. go to the stickies in the restoration forum.

So the Alfa 1 leg that came with v8 would definitely be wise , Cheers mate
