The stacks are a homemade attempt to increase power, but do not work ... they do not give as much power as this motor has with its natural internal tuning.

The props with no name are Litton. It might be there if you clean it up more.

These are probably the 2 motors that DaveS thought he had a lead on.
I don't need a bib unless I think I can own them
So far, he doesn't have a complete factory powerhead ... I'm a bit closer less a starter that I have a possible lead on and the fact that I have a 1962 type lower unit rather than a '64 or '65
590 on the model serial tag means special short stroke crank ... may or may not be in one of these powerheads, but with the other special pieces missing I would not be surprised if it is not there

Now if there was a chance of buying one of both of these and/or some spare stuff like starter and reduction gears or the tapered props ... I'd need a big bib

The insert for the header is intersting, two inserts, two diff diam. Anyone have an Idea on what make the boat is? The casting # is on the lower unit, is it from the same year as the lower unit with the vin taqg on?
How many engines did they make in 65, and for the full production run?
Thanks again.

My guess on the hydro would be DeSilva. If it is a DeSilva there is a number stamped into the stringer or cross piece inside near the transom
10 feet is unusually short for an F class hydro. Even today the shortest F's are 12 ft 6 inches; years ago 14 was considered a better size for F and X

The header lengths are all wrong for motors with the limited rpm capacity of the McCullochs. You can only rev them to about 6,200 rpm without a connecting rod coming out the front of the block. This is because the stroke and connecting rod geometry give a very high piston speed for the rpm ... their pistons are moving faster at 6,000 than many other motor's pistons would be going at 10,000+ rpm. Pipes for 6,200 rpm would be more than 4 feet long. When I was interviewing Jack Oxley about these motors years ago, when I asked about pipes, it made him pause and say something like ... Good Lord - NO! ... and then a comment about the excessive length needed.
Not sure where that casting number is?
No one knows the individual year production of these motors, but everyone who worked at the factory is sure the production was 500 motors.
