Center of gravity will be lower and cooling easier to get right if they are side by side.

CG sure, cooling overcome. How's that looper v4 for race HP.

SureFit CG

SureFit CG is a dynamic technology that allows club fitters and golfers to adjust the CG position and Swingweight through interchangeable weights, optimizing launch & spin for maximum distance.

cooling overcome.

To overcome this, some have a viscous coupling a fluid clutch worked by a temperature sensitive valve that uncouples the fan until the coolant temperature reaches a set point. Other's have an electric fan, also switched on and off by a temperature sensor.

Race HP .... Is that anything like a 3/4 cam ?

Nawww, two strokes configured in a Vee formation will never work .... Pffttttttt

A little old school ... >

And one that you couldn't use 50% of it's output, on your best day ...

So take off the forks, bars, swingarm, lay it on its side, mount the output to the midsection and get back to us.

The difference is ... I have the ability to do that

You ... not so much

Speaking of you ... I noticed you skipped the Henry Ford vs. A.L.A.M. question I posed to both YOU and Markus ...

I can't blame YOU for ducking out on that .. It puts the credibility of your narrative right alongside that of Adam Schiffhead's .... A delusional fantasy

It, it, it, strikes an eerily suspicious, similar storyline that claim's a few haphazardly arranged exhaust ports linked to a log that runs down below the waterline and out the prop hub ... as being a sole ownership ... "invention" .. LMAO

No, No, No, my "invention" goes up before it goes down, joins the log, and out the prop hub ... Making it completely different ... Ppppfftttt

In the end, all the **** blocking did was make it easier to see what the others were doing. Matter of public record, just look it up.
It never stopped others from making outboard motors, even West Bend made a few

The real winners, the lawyers, of course.

Seems the racers were the smartest. They just continued with what works. If it didn't, it went in the garbage can and tried a different way until they came up with what does work. Much like today, those guys get hired to do what they do best ..

The crows, there will always be crows sittin on the wire squakin away ..

Well at least until a shot is fired in the form of a question that requires, thinking, experience, and a bit of self honesty ... then it's crickets ...
