That is one ugly mother of a gearcase, stitched to an Art Deco stern drive ------nothing like the number six. That's a work of art that will go down in marine history ( in my opinion).

I built a SE/SD marathon boat for myself in 1969. I have to admit it was not pretty but it was brutally efficient. Never failed to finish a race and never finished worse than 3rd.
