Hi all. Has anyone successfully installed a closed cooling system? I've got a Buick V6 225 "odd-firing" engine in my 1971 Lancer.
The boat has spent its entire life in fresh water but I've got to use it in the ocean. The engine and original Chris Craft manifolds are in great condition and I want to keep it that way!

Cooling system alternative
Thanks Don. I've investigated the cooling system set-up and I cannot find something that will also take care of the manifolds. Unless I'm misunderstanding something, the systems available are "partial" and will only serve the engine. This seems odd and I don't understand how you can only get partial cooling.
In the meantime and for a lot less money, I've decided to stick with the raw water set-up and use "Salt-Away" flushing product after each use. I improved my raw water intake plumbing to allow me to connect a garden hose.
