How about paint the valve cover, coil packs, and brackets to match the boat's paint job and display your LS power with pride! Here's a couple of examples. Looks a whole lot easier to pull off too.
Stuff you need to switch over to an LSX platform.

Gonna need some metric to NPT adapters for the gauges to work. Found a place that sells them.

You will need a M16x1.5 Male Metric x 1/4" Female NPTF for the oil sender and a M12x1.5 Male Metric x 3/8" Female NPTF for the water temp sender. The oil adapter goes where the stock oil sender goes and can connect directy to your gauge as the computer doesn't use this info at all. The water sender has to go into the opposite head as the other water sensor because the stock one does send info to the computer.

James, Oreilly's shows to have the ones that sandeggo listed in the thread on PB. They are not in the Rowlett store but they can have them by tomorrow. It's like $12 total for all of them.

WOW - I don't check in for a little while (3 months) and look at what all I missed.
I didn't read all of this, so where are you at on this now Blaze?
What do you have left to do? I bet I have a boat load (pun intended) of part numbers and sources for whatever you are still looking for.
BTW - got one last run by myself in before it got bitter cold...80-81 mph with just me and 20 gallons of fuel. The GPS hit 81...but kind of fluttered between 80-81 for a while, so if anything it's probably 81.1

That may be true...I was referring to the fact that the turbos themself work better without jacketing. C5 or C6 manifolds upside down would work very well in most boats. I may be wrong, but I don't see how those manifolds upside down could hurt fiberglass. If they did, they'd melt parts of the engine first (sensors, composite intake, plug wires, etc.)
BUT - if you for sure need jacketed for turbos then you would either be looking for 351C logs, or Indmar/Crusader/etc I/O stuff. You probably already knew that, though.
