Yes most of the race boats in the late 50's and early 60's that ran at the front of the pack had this setup.

I saw this and was going to post Brownies quote!
What I remember is, “the IO is the instrument of the devil” 😂😂😂

What was dependable power from a big block in late ‘60’s race trim?
Mid 400’s?

Did a quick scan of my library yesterday and did not see your bock.

If I get time today, I will do a more thural dig.

The wife took over my home office which cut book shelf space by 50% and forced some to boxes in basement.(hopefully all magazines)

No problem,







the next run will be in mid March. Everything we had is gone after Christmas.

Here are some looks inside.....Plus close to finishing The Innovators, my next book in the Blue Water Warriors series about the 50's and 60's.
