It took a while but it finally fit. I torqued the foward bolts to 70 lb ft(used red loctite) [IMG]http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a342/aboatguy/DSC01821.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a342/aboatguy/DSC01822.jpg[/IMG] I torqued the rear to 90 lb ft It took a while to line them up too.
