I haven't been down sence my interview. is it all closed down now or are they still using some of it? I did a class in their new building. just not the same. I never got to see the Chrysler R&D, too young. Does anyone know wht happen to the OMC stern drive. When I was there, it was in a closed off area that only a few where allow into.

That's all a shame.
Was just looking, visualizing a four cyl mid 70s cowl the good looking ones, cut and sectioned stretched to fit over a F5 , white semi tower actually probably not much height difference, need to measure.Last edited by FMP; 06-30-2018 at 10:06 PM.

Poky, The OMC Stern drive Engineering facility was on Central Ave in Waukegan, near Green Bay Rd and Washington St., that's still there with some other business occupying it. All of the lakefront buildings are gone years now. I worked at both facilities, a total of about 9 years. It was eerie to go down to the lakefront the first time with everything at ground level.
I remember the V6 lay down Jet unit. John Daniels built that and he did a nice job. I got to drive it a few times, it was a blast.

F5, two versions, 89-90 3.3125" , 91-94 3.373". Same block although I've measured more duration on Ex for big bore. How high is the L6 clamp up?
