Hi, I need to make a test panel to run inboard engines out of the boat. Does anyone know of a source for a dash panel with the proper round engine connector? I don't want to remove the harness from the boat. I looked on ebay and I can get complete panels with gauges, but I don't know about the harness to connect to the engine.

I have crusader engines 300hp 350cid. It has the round pin type connector. any suggestions appreciated
 
Paw:

Bob did just what you are describing a while back. search for a post by user "bobonthis" (or with underscores). He rebuilt both of his v-6s and did the initial startup with them skid mounted on the trailer. Lots of good pics.

Like most, I don't think he invested in the harness connector. the usual approach is jumper (alligator) clips or crimp on terminals.
