Crusader engine question

[Darylle]

Hello
Could someone please confirm if crusader still make a carb 350 engine and if so do they require a through hull water feed on full closed cooling?

Also would any dealers ship to Australia?
Thanks Darylle

Have you looked on their website? http://www.crusaderengines.com/classic/#engines
If you contact them, I am sure they can hook you up. If it were me, I would want to look closer to home in the event of possible warranty issues.
As I understand it, the raw water pump requirement is dependent on drive and preference/application with a freshwater closed cooling system. Your Alfa should have its own pump but often has the additional sea pump for additional cooling/reliability. The Bravo doesn't have an internal pump so would be required. I have an Alfa in a 245 and it uses both pumps.

Thank you for the reply thornton
There appears to be ONE! stockist in Australia who is only interested in unloading the EFI unit for $17 500 Aussie Pesos! I am of the understanding amongst other things the crusader has a better manifold/riser design and I am considering a merc long block and adding the "osco" mani s and closed cooling but I prefer a total " turn key" package.
