I don't have a clue. I've heard rumors of both injected and carbed 3 cyl Merc loopers that were prototyped in very limited quanities. The cowl is so long on front that it looks like it might have something going on their............... Bendix maybe????? Somebody offered a pair of injected loopers for sale around here several years ago, but I've lost track of it. Seems like he was in Colorado. I asked for pics, but never got em. Always wondered if it was bogus.


I never saw the T4's run with the 300 cowls either. I wonder if that was intentional or if it was a last minute switch. I've got a T4 cowl with those stickers also, but I always thought somebody just stuck the ones from a consumer motor on it. That stuff was so limited in quantity that the one I have could be the one from the picture.

what about 4 cylinders from a T2? instead of 3 like the 650X/700X.
