The specified weight of a Johnson Racing V-8 with the Model Number OZF-JS is 465 pounds. The displacement is 213.75 cubic inches (3.5 liter) (3,503.36 cubic cm) and a full throttle rpm of 8,900 rpm. This is from 1983. This model has 8 two-barrel carburetors. Each two-barrel carburetor is in line with the cylinder that it serves. Hope that this helps.

Well..there is plenty of info regarding the racing V8 on this thread.
Here is a production V8 prepared by Evolution Marine.

You can also see a Merc T-4 in the picture. I believe its Billy Seebold (#7 second picture) but he lost to the powerful Evinrude V8 on the transom of Barry Woods #35 Molinari boat.
