I took that picture in about 2004. That is in the gravel right behind my shop. I cut the back off that block with a plasma cutter.

Chaz great to hear from you! I can't believe I just read this whole post. I think I may have pissed my pants laughing!! Power must have a direct link to my camera. That f1 v8 firing order is my flywheel picture. The block as you nailed it was an Alabama blue wrench quick and dirty. Chaz as you know I like to buy things that are in perfect working order and completely tear them apart to see what makes them tick

Guys, there is some excellent information here and I thank all of you for sharing it. I would just like to ask that we try to avoid arguments or anything that might compromise the thread. That's all I ask.

By now, I think we all know that the answer to the question “Outboard Exhaust Tuning - Who Did It Best?”, is no one else than our own Chaz from Palm City Florida.
Perhaps the original poster can now start a new thread called “Outboard Exhaust Tuning - Which OEM Did It Best?”, and get the answer he was probably looking for.

As the original poster, I failed to appreciate many of the post in this thread as informative or entertaining. Much of it reminds me of being a 7 year old back in the 60's shooting our BB guns at each other. As adults, sure it was reckless, but none of us 7 year olds were thinking about the loss of an eye or more serious consequences of hurting others. We did it - I survived it, but I know better today. I'm 61 and am surprised that grown men would still get into BB gun wars....Gordon
Here is another question that I would have loved to asked in this thread, but felt like this one had ran off-track so I posted it in the Outboard Racing/OMC thread elsewhere on this forum. I'm posting it in confirmation of the original intent and reason I started the thread in the first place -
Posted elsewhere -
Based on my limited research abilities, I wanted to ask here for some expertise. I've found that the 1977 consumer model Evinrude/Johnson 140 horse outboards came with a large megaphone and can performance exhaust system. This "1 year only" exhaust system looks like something out of the race shops. I'm wondering if this was in-fact some production race class requirement wherein parts for race and consumer models had to be the same or if this was an experiment gone wrong.
This information is important to me as I would like to track these parts down for my own 1978 V4 140 build if they deliver. OMC went to a lot of trouble to make these parts work for the 1977 model since they have unique parts for the can, the tuner, the plate, and the adapter (actually block down) to work. Was the 1977 140 a stellar performer over all others, or am I chasing a performance unicorn that isn't worth the catch?
Thanks for your inputs. Gordon
