Sick man :ernaehrung004:

Engines coupled or four out drives? awesome either way! |
Any pictures of the transom? |
I think just checking oil could be a nightmare !!!! |
|
Engines coupled to two surface drives . Or at least that’s how it used to be set up . Crazy set up ! Good to see it still around |

holy sheet! . . . more pics and info are gonna be necessary with this thread . . . .:cool:
|
Still coupled together will work on more pics. |
ok this might a dumb azz question . . . not my first :D . . . but are those small blocks? I mean they are 4/71 blowers and where you can see the bottom of the left rear motor it kinda looks like a bigger gap between the first and second tube at the head?? Kinda look like small-ish valve covers . . . maybe i'm just seeing things . .. i dunno . . . im intrigued by this thing lol :cool:
|
Definitely BBC, seeing the header tube spacing and bolt pattern on the valve cover and looks to be EFI TB's ? 871 blowers ?
|
i thought 4-71's had the four spaces on the side . . . i'm just trying to figure out how they stuffed all that in there lol . . . I'll bet thats fun to service . . .
|
What hull is it, OL ?.......Im not a blower expert........:readinghelp:
|
It might be the way the picture was taken but the rear motors appeared higher than the front two motors. |
If I remember right, and I could be completely wrong but they were 1,000-1,100 KE and the boat sank when it wasn’t very old. I see Sterling valve covers on it now though, so who knows what they are at this point. Pretty cool piece but way out of what I would have the patience or pocketbook for! |

And the blower question earlier- 10-71 has the same 4 sections. Don’t know if these are but that was from a picture I found on a blower I ordered. |
Eight carburetors,32 spark plugs the list goes on I just can’t imagine. |
Not sure if this will work.... first link is video as the engines are started. (Not sure how well it sounds). Second link when all 4 runnings https://share.icloud.com/photos/0Fdl...romFUTfR5hAg6A https://share.icloud.com/photos/0eBr...cUy5JVKec4SVeg |

yeah, i looked 'em up after the fact . . . was just trying to figure out how four of anything could fit in there. It does look like the front to back spacing is a modified staggered with the rear engines maybe raised? . . . . That thing is NUTS! Cant imagine the sound at WOT :D
|
Any Idea of the displacement of the engines?

The rear engines are raised up , the engines are parallel with each other and the driveshaft passes directly under the back engines and 2 of the engines are counter rotation .

kind of figured that with the belt idler on opposite sides, so the front engines are coupled through a gear box with 1 output to the drive ?
