In my big block to small block swap, I've run into my first compatibility problem ( besides the fact I can't get the engine aligned).
On the big block, I had Corsa Captains Call Exhaust, bascially a short hose off the riser, into a stainless steel Corsa diverter pipe with two exhuast outlets, one goes straight back to the cut out in the transom, the second goes down to the Y-pipe at the drive, with a section of hose connecting the Corsa pipe to the Mercruiser Y pipe on each side.
I can't use the Corsa diverter with the current transom holes. The engine is too narrow, and to short. I don't want to seal the transom and cut new holes at this point, so I plan on removing the corsa diverter, and running the original type plumbing down to the drive's y-pipe. Only it's expensive. For the two Mercruiser elbows, and four sections of hose, I'm looking at nearly five hundred bucks. Ouch.
Are there any aftermarket alternatives, to replace the Mercruiser elbows (11086T & 14343T) ? I see some Barr elbows on boatfix, but they aren't real specific what they fit.
I know there have been a few recent posters who were considering installing the Corsa system. Any chance you held onto your OEM parts, and want to sell them?
