444
Hi Steve, As Sam points out this is a FE/850 only. I custom cast the manifold and carb adapters and machine them to fit the Merc500 case. The 444 intake system then gets bolted and epoxied to the case - no welding is involved. This engine is one of three built. It ran one weekend - Hillsdale 2009 - with Rich Welch driving, and beat all others including OMC triples. In fact, it set lowest ET for the weekend. Serial #1 now belongs to Mark Suter, #2 to Roger Hinsdale, and #3 is on my bench awaiting final assembly.
For more views go to BRF, Outboard History, Name that Outboard. Thanks for your interest. Tim
PS Am now building a 666 "Super Thunderbolt" to see how it stacks up against my triple. Again, Rich will drive this one. He's got more six cylinder competition time than most in the country.
PPS - Yes, I do have Parker cast filler blocks & dividers for the 25SS/200 Merc, 25 OMC, and Hot Rod A/B. Also elbows, cones, etc. to make full 2-cyl exhaust systems.
