I am on vacation all this week so its boat every day all day. The engines went in today and the boat got uncovered and moved into the shed for prep and paint. For all who said it could'nt be done 454s will fit in a 31 express without moving any bulkheads and with an inline transmission, actually had more room than I thought. as you can see the alignment still has to be tweeked but we had to work around some rain and wanted to get the boat inside as soon as it was uncovered. Here are the engines in the boat.
