WELL HERE GOES , ILL TRY TO BE BRIEF. :rolleyes:
first off heres the front cover from eddie marine

hpoe all these pics work
heres the inlet tee I buid atthe bottom of the motor front.Its a 3/4" pipe elbow that has a barbed 1" end ,drill a 1/8 pipe hole in the top for the bypass and put a 90 elbo on it going in the opposite direction of the water flow to the engine , this is important to let water flw to engine when themostat opens,
Then at each end of the tee put 3/4" hos barbs on to go to pump cover

On top I use a eddie marine water outlet and open up the 3/8 pipe holes to 1/2 pipe and put two 3/4" hose barbs on them.Then drill a 3/8 pipe hole in the top center for the bypass line to enter, you have to bore the divider out in the cover too.Then put a 160* thermostat in with four 5/64" holes drille in it for flow to get to the thermostat. When the motor is running hard and thermostat is open the hotter water will overcome the cooler in the bypass line and allow full flw through motor(thus in conjunction with the bottom bypass inlet running opposite the flow)

This has worked well for me on several motors , they tend to run at 180* constant plus they cool right down if you run hard and pull back to idle instead of spiking the temp gauge like they use to burningm

Also you will have to fab the alternator and power steering brackets since they use the water pump to mount . I did mine so as they both take the same belt ( that way i only carry 1 spare). This motor is for the port side of our twin so it doesnt have the p/s pump on it.
Hope these pics worked and sorry for the long post,but then if you wherent interested you shouldnt have looked :D NG
