My understanding is the Todd has used this type of motor for tractor pulls for a while. This is hear Say tho so don't take it as gospel.

Also pretty sure Todd pulled the motors out of the 44 and looked at them last winter and all was good. What I do know about the OL is that he has them tuned as mild as the can be but it still sounds so nasty. The move a lot of air for sure

The 5.0 bore space configuration has helped make stupid power in the drag race cars for a while, glad to see it happening in boats... should be interesting. very cool engine.

I would have to say yes he is …It is his passion to be on top of the boating world , and he does a very good job !!!!! When I first meet Bill at Randy Sweers place , just talking to him about boats, motors and different combination of props , you could tell that he knew what he was talking about !!!!! let not talk about all the millions of dollars he has spent to get this type of knowledge , So yes I would say he is very hands own on everything he builds !!!!

Clearly, the weak point in that set up is the blower belt. I like the O2 bungs in each individual header runner. Excuse my ignorance, but what is the function of the pipe running into the middle of the head?

Without seeing under the valve cover or where the other end is attached it's hard to say. Valvetrain oilers aren't normally fed by such a large line but I'm not at all familiar w/ that style head, .

Water/coolant passage?

I would yes

I read the article and they talked about revised cooling so I would assume its coolant related.

Cooling, dry deck surface in the event of a head lifting. I believe the oil lines are external too.
