LS Swap Seafari 25

[Xcomunic8d]

Purchased a Bravo 3 with counter rotating props yesterday from a guy on another island. Had a friend go look at it and pick it up. Seems to be in good shape. I’ll be tearing it down when it comes but $800 was a steal.



Engine is all the way down. All apart, cranks out, pistons, all of it. The oil galleys have been tapped for the vvt/Afm delete. The holes are 5/16” so a 3/8-16 tap with 3/8 set screws with thread sealant is perfect. Make sure to use thread cutting oil the block is hard.

Tap these pedestal looking things:



But you’ll have to clean this out of everywhere. The valley plate has sensors on it that deactivate these weird looking lifters.







Engine will be going to machine shop for the works:
Cleaning
Block decked
Main bearing alignment and honing
Camshaft bearings aligned and replaced
Pistons cleaned, ringed, and checked hopefully not replaced but who knows.
Block honed and overbored if necessary
Heads to be cleaned, valve job, and shaved .030 to bump up compression on 243’s
Gotta find somebody who balances cranks for bob weight etc.

Will post pics when I can.
