Yes I know about the DS....splines..... do you have 3.4 short housings?.....What I was going to do is use 3.0 ex housings because the 3.4 are 25 inch and I wanted 20 inch housings....I can cut the 3.0s but the 3.4 can't be cut because of the way they are cast. What boat do you plan to use?

as for a boat... I had a line on a Scarab Raider Carbon Kevlar but that’s gone. Would consider a cat or LCB. May make something aluminum like a LCB. I like the idea of a boat that has deck and cabin space - V or Cat. V for the ability to do all speeds. Cats - only go fast.
I have a 24 superboat with a 20 inch bracket.....I used to have a 2.4 on it but found some 3.4 short motor. A friend has a Hallet tunnel that is going to get a 3.4......but I have to make a short..............
When I was in the service department, we had a recall on the 3.4 flywheels, I don't remember what it was all about, but I was charged with getting the recall notice out. I got a list from sales of all the 3.4's involved in the recall, think it was a couple hundred motors. I saw that about 200 of them had gone to our distributor in the far east, Hong Kong or Singapore, somewhere out there, but like 197 of them were never registered. I contacted the distributor, they say they are sold and gone, we will probably never know where. Seems the smugglers there liked the motors, and were using them to smuggle finished gold products out of China - I was told the Chinese artisans work was much better than that of India, and one run with a twin or triple engined boat more than paid for the cost of the boat/motors!
I think that left me with like 50 motors to find in the rest of the world!

Parts seems to be same as 3.4 Cosworth. Would like to know the secret to the illusive 450hp!Attachment 503400
Flywheel taper is the same on Merc 500....1984 and up has the same 8 bolt for 2.5 wheel.....Not sure of the hub hight....Key way needs to be broached wider......
Merc 500 flywheel, anyone have one laying around? Here's a spare cowl I foundAttachment 503890
