As long as the air intake is above the waterline, the engine doesn't care. It's all a sealed system.

Awesome. Just wondering how he wired his electrical system.

dielectric grease is awesome.

You put that in the alternator too?

I've never had a problem with the alt. in water, however, you dont need it to run, ya know? The distributor is a bigger concern. You have to silcone that really well.
