need i/o v-8 engine compartment pictures
Hi,is there anyone out there that could help me with some pitures of there i/o v-8 or v-6 motor mount base?I have a '86 V20 with the 470 4cly.I am trying to convert to a v6 or v8.Supprisingly, there is very little info for the conversion.I would like to install "L" brackets to the sides of engine compartment with a crossbrace in between (like my old glastron).Not sure if the box is strong enough. Any pitures would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks Tim

Just fill the transom hole, add a 25 gal gas tank were the motor was, bolt a bracket and a 150 or better outboard, and end your misery for ever!
O yea welcome to the site!

I'm repowering now, I have a i/o go to the repair section and look up repowering, I have pics in there where I replaced one of the stringers that the motor mount brackets screws into.. If you want I can take additional pics and post.

Re: need i/o v-8 engine compartment *pictures
Hi,thanks for the replies.I appreciate the help.My engine compartment does not have stringers.It had a merc. 470(front engine mount).After looking at pics.I see I will have to add stringers,stay with crappy 4 cyl. or go w/ outboard conversion.My '77 glastron(302w/volvo 280)the motor mounts were attached to the sides of the engine compartment with a cross brace.I will checkout the pics in the repair section. Again thanks everyone for the help Tim.

Well, this isn't a V20, but I think the V20's were made from the same mold. *The hull construction is different, there are no stringers except to support the deck so blocks were added to bolt the motor to. *The picture was taken to show off some new wiring but you can see a motor mount in the back.
