hey guys finally ready to install a chevy 305 to my '68 sea ray with omc electric shift. i have previously read a thread about an engine alignment tool and i am confused as usual but could someone please explain this to me as i dont get it . this is what im thinkin feel free to correct me. if the intermediate bolts to the bell housing, then the bell housing bolts to the engine where and how in the world is there any room for adjustment? how can you go wrong if all your bolts line up where could the shaft and coupler get fouled up? please school the newbie before i screw up after all this time and money ive spent. thanx in advance
 
Re: engine swap ..install

no need for a alignment tool cause you don't have a adjustment.

This is one of the good reasons to have a stringer no boots except the transom seal, is another.

Now if you had a cobra or a merc then you would need to get the gimbal bearing and coupler straight inline.
