More ego than corp politics. If you weren't part of Leeks team, you weren't really part of the race team. I didn't work for Leek, but was part of the rotary engine group.Clarence Blanchard was Jack Leeks designer. Later on he worked with Nerstrom. He was responsible for the first prototype V-6's that won Paris in 1974 and the darth vader look gear cases in the later 70's.

Can't really answer your question but the rotary had the same trim/lift unit from the get go in late 72.

I think the KR13 didnt have it
OMC lists the KR15 as being a 73 year model hence same ignition ( basically ) as a 73 135

I had a kr15 and yes it up/down and in/out. Bull had some of the pistons you were looking for with the high rings and no scallops. I just gave them away about two months ago. I wish I would have held on to my Weeks ccc, my rs, and my kr15 but times were tough.

That would be very cool, thanks! The Super Strangler/Stinger GP 8 pumpers must have been mean mofos back in the day.

A general question for those of you who have run them and worked on them. Would a Super Strangler 8 pumper have the grunt to push a 16 foot 1500lb V hull to 84mph? No pad on the boat just round bottom V. I'm not good with what the lower units would have done as far as slip % and the like but I'm sure there is some math that could give a range.

John, The up/down was built into the mount system so not a merc unit they did not even have up down at the time. My memory of the trim is a pump very similar to merc but made by Prestolite who may have also made the merc unit. What I am saying is OMC did not go buy trim pumps from Merc.

You are correct, Merc did not have power lift at the time. What I said was OMC used 2 Merc Pumps. If my memory serves me right, they were made by Prestolite. They had a gear pump, a 12v motor and an integral reservoir with an 12v control vale to change fluid flow directions. OMC's lift was integrated into the swivel bracket. really a very simple piston on the swivel bracket rod, seals on both ends and inlet-outlet on both ends. I'm not sure OMC even used the Merc trim cylinder on their units. I just don't remember anymore. That's why I designed the single pump/motor unit with a single reservoir. It took a bunch of weight out of the boat and simplified to electrical/hydraulic systems.
