Hope this info helps,

I'm in the process (almost finished) installing a MarkIV mercury marine engine 454 C.I. motor in my 73 Coupe. I'll try to list the important mods. (1) Went to long water pump in order to use Alan Grove Brackets and Pulley's , A.C., Alt. and P.S. (2) Installed a aluminum radiator electric fan(s) setup from Entrophy Technology Corporation, real nice unit. (3) Intake is a 1971 GM LS6 low profile piece I found at Carlisle PA a couple of years ago. (4) Carburetor will be either a 850 CFM Quadrajet or a 750 CMF Speed Demon. (5) Had the driveshaft balanced and replaced the 2 1/2 inch halfshafts with 3 inch shafts. (6) Installed a 1500 to 5500 RPM cam from CompCams. (7) New Holley BBC fuel pump. (8) MSD Tach Drive distributor & ignition box. (9) Numerous susoension upgrades.

Hope this helps........Tom
