Just couple notes that may help those that do this switch in the future.
I assumed most all parts fit....wrong!
Cylinder dia is slightly larger so some screws in the "between the cylinder" baffles need to be longer.
You can stretch the existing A-65 baffling to fit but it makes it a PITA to work around the exhaust manifolds!!! Best build new.
Exhaust manifold is approx 1/2" narrow between the two sides, needed to cut & stretch to make fit.
I didn't need a long mount but thought we'd try a F-19 0-200 mount we had on hand for fitment, it would interfere with the stock exhaust.
We ended up beefing up the stock 65hp short mount to match a 85-8 short mount.
& NO it's not in the "certified" catagory...thank goodness!
