I am looking for an aliggnment tool for a 454 7.4 litre engine with a brovo 3 drive. Need it in a couple of weeks as I have everything that I can think of to get started on rebuild. Except
(Knowledge) But He@l Having the right tools is important. Trial and error will have to do. |

The alignment tool is the same for all mrec outdrive.
If all else fails you could use just the splined shaft off the ujoints if you have one lying around.
You could also just attach a fresh water line to engine and run without the drive for now until you are sure engine is good to go. Then check alignment before installing OD. |

"The alignment tool is the same for all mrec outdrive."

they have a newer tool out, that actually bolts up and gives a way better alignment |
