So both fuel tanks draw from the top with suction tubes. Would it make sense to run two inline pumps on each side before the T? Or maybe one pump after the T before the filters? Thanks!

So the motor I got from yunick Motorsports out of Florida. Complete refurbished with a new ZFs transmission 1.2:1.
The boat originally had a 350 in it when it was made, and it had long steel brackets on the stringers for the engine mounts to bolt to. Im planning on fabricating new brackets for the stringers for the 4bta to mount to. I’m expecting the engine to be delivered today or tomorrow so when it is I’ll get measurements off it for the engine mount brackets.

I’m in the process of installing the hydraulic steering. I don’t have prop demensions but am replacing it anyway because of pitting and I’m almost positive it will be the wrong pitch as it was paired with a 350, but I’m getting it from a guy in rancho Cordova who does props for most of the people I know with boats.

As far as the engine being so active at low rpm… this is something I’ve heard about from a few people and don’t know how I should address that. There will be times where I will be running at low rpm for trolling or running hydraulics and any tips or solutions to reduce the vibration would be great. Or anything else for that matter. I guess the beauty of this project is that I’m not having to replace anything cause there was nothing there when I bought it. So almost everything going in to the boat isn’t really dependent on what’s already there if that makes sense. I can build it on paper and then install. Thanks for any tips!
