Steve,

Is that a 15" or 20" motor? (APBA rules confuse me.)

[STEVE FRENCH]

15 cube legal with ANY mods/exhaust......
20 cube legal (Stock powerhead),......with chamber.....closed/canned-muffler megaphone.....or the commode/conversion

It was mentioned by one long time Merc Racer (12CE-Senior) at Whitney Point that if someone would sponcer/propose a ballot allow'n the Merc Commode-20 motor to do a couple updates/mods,....there would be more participation in A-MOD.
The commode with it's grunt/torque is close to competative in AMR (I think there were 2-3 commodes at Whitney and were bunched up on the heals of the Hot-Rods)...... but in hydro not so much to the Hot-Rod's RPM...............There's a landfill of ported Merc cyls and/or light flywheel ignitions out there... Could they run probationary ?.....OPPS sorry about lose'n yer coffee...5P
