Maybe late one night you could have backed the truck up to put things in storage no don't do that

I heard the F1 V8 race truck went to the scrap yard full of engines and parts..

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.

Sterndrive business was with volvo before 2000 ( 93 ish) finally bought out in 98

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.

I wish I could of worked there, definitely more excited than working at brigs and stratton.

F5, clamp to top cowl 31 1/16". Must be a bit less than a L6?

[Mark75H]

Might not be, the bore is significantly bigger

[FMP]

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?
