How-To-LS Swap a Marine application

Like many people, you have already come to recognize the dominance of the LS engine platform from all types of motorsports and powersports.

So imagine you were doing the same engine swap into a car, sand rail, air boat or virtually anything for that matter. What's more important than knowing what the engine needs is knowing what the boat needs from the engine to make it a compatible fit.

The first thing to ask yourself or the installer what does the car, boat or anything need or require to accept a new LS Based engine or retrofit. A marine application is no different what the engine needs is based entirely on what the engine is mating to. Below are a list of the most common questions to ponder before you start your project.

  1. What is the exact application and or drive type you're adapting to? Jet? Bravo? Alpha? #6 Sterndrive? V-Drive? Wakeboard boat configuration?
  2. What does the current engine have on it for accessories that the new engine will need? Will you want just a sea water cooling pump and will you fabricate your own accessories mounting and or drive ? Or do you want a complete kit?
  3. Is the engine Aluminum or Iron block? Are you going to want closed cooling?
  4. What style of motor mounts does your current engine use that you will have to adapt to?
  5. If you're adapting to a sterndrive application and you have an Alpha Outdrive you will need a modern Bravo bellhousing and LS Flywheel and coupler.
  6. Does your LS engine have a long or short crankshaft snout? This is critical in indentifying starters, flywheels, PTO, etc.
  7. Where does your current exhaust exit and can the new LS exhaust adapt to your current exit location? Will you want aluminum exhaust or Stainless steel headers?
  8. Does your engine use a carburetor or EFI? If EFI how many O2 sensors will you be using? one or two?

We have tried to address all of these but due to so many variables there is no such thing as a kit. There is no way to make one size shoe fit everyone basically. But we are here to support you through the journey. We've also partnered with Powerboat 1 to develop a technical advice video series on converting an LS Engine for use in a jet application.

Happy Boating!

302-C5818-030

GM Gen III/IV Small Block V8. LS Series .030" MLS Exhaust Gaskets. - Sold in Pairs

The Cometic Severe Duty Multi Layer Series exhaust gaskets are comprised of three separate layers of stainless steel. Cometic uses stainless steel for increased strength and its ability to rebound from heat compression, plus excellent corrosion resistance. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated. This is designed to meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments, load conditions and surface finishes.

The Severe Duty MLS exhaust gasket is ideal for both aluminum heads & cast iron heads as well as cast iron and aluminum blocks. The composition of MLS gaskets will also withstand the shearing forces created by aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. No re-torque is required and by design promotes an even torque load across the sealing surface.

Billet Aluminum Front Single Engine Mount for LS Motors

625-8529

In the world of professional offshore powerboat racing the top teams are always looking for ways to save weight without sacrificing performance and durability Hardin Marine knows there is no better way to test a product than to expose it to the abuses and demands of full blown racing While tested in extreme conditions these mounts are still right at home in a recreational pleasure boat. 
 
While bearing the same nominal measurements as the factory Mercury Racing engine mounts that’s where the similarities end. These engine mounts are CNC machined from aero space grade  6061-T6 billet aluminum. Front mounts feature our exclusive billet engine block mounting pads. These pads form a structural bridge like connection to the base of the engine mount. They also provide for an optional speedy engine removal option while the base mount stays in the boat.Next the mounts are machined to accept precision stainless steel bushings in the mounting hole locations to ensure a secure fit and prevent premature wear. After construction of the mounts they are then black hard coat anodized for corrosion resistance and long life.
 
So if your looking for the strongest and lightest engine mount option (half the weight of conventional steel mounts) then there is no better choice than these mounts.

NOTE: THESE ARE RAW FINISH
