You are right it is a flat deck. If I'm right the TG didn't come out until 1987?

Slow Top Guns are still Top Guns. ....plus, this is a good looking TG that will start every time you want to use it! (that means the average speed of this TG is higher than the average speed of blown TGs that sit on the trailer with engine issues)

My bad, I never knew that merc made an lx 7.4 with that style of intake. I've only seen the tbi and truck plenum style

I could've sworn it was 87 that you could buy both? Pretty sure "first gun" is a 87 with no notch.
