That's why I was wondering if they extended the bottom V4 exhaust further than the top into the mid , that would have provided more equal tune length to the top V4. I doubt I'll ever find one of the F1 motors around here and disassembled to have a look at the crank and ex manifold and mid.

How did the location of the starter for OMC's V6 program end up between the carb banks? I assume that OMC had an advantage in doing this because OMC used a 90 degree block design versus Merc's 60 degree?Quote:
