    I am looking for technical specs, or an installation diagram of a Mercruiser 7.4L. Specifically I am looking for height dimensions from the top of the standard exhaust elbow down to the motor mount, and from the mount down to the bottom of the oil pan. There are spectacular diagrams out there from most diesel manufacturers however I can not find anything from Mercruiser for their motors. Any assistance would be appreciated!

    Thanks Gonzo, those manifolds and risers are pretty much a carbon copy of what I have. I am trying to get a definite spec on the overall height from the bottom of the oil pan sump to the top of the elbow. I'd also like the exact location of the motor mount tab in relation to the sump, and top of elbow. A Schematic such as this would be lovely: http://www.cmdmarine.com/Products/drawings_wiring/3884673.pdf
