Hey BVfast....thanks.... My 6 pack came off a never used 2.0 finger ported 7 reed motor. The way the 6 pack manifold is cast the outer carbs are blocked by the casting. I was going to build a 3.4 offshore motor with the 6 pack. The 3.4 off has a wide and flat reed surface.... and the outer carb blockage will be gone after it meets MR bridgeport.

This is a great thread

Hope the pic's show up in this post.

Very cool.

Real neat piece of OLD Merc.......T2 reeds and old exhaust plate.......

[BVfast]

Dave they used the factory 6 carb front with these adapters to make the mounting surface flat. These are the new ones that came with my new 6 carb front. I gave these to Chris Carson for one he was working on. These are new, same part # as my engine but 1979. Will post some intakes a little later. Still waiting to see someone else's cool stuff, I have lots to put up but this is not just for me to post. But stay tuned" more to come. Lets keep this going. Post some pics. Thanks to all.

This is very cool. Thanks for posting these pics.

I would have loved to hear that run 10K in the Bayou. Fun to look at those castings and see how things progressed over the years.

Amazing history BV.

Thanks for sharing.

[RBT]

Looking at that I am reminded of years ago the “x” front half. I was looking for one to see if it would be possible (or work) as an EFI front

Bull I may know you if I see you in person. I started racing tunnels with Jay Price in 1990 and Mod-V.P. raced at most all races. We raced in the U.S. until 1994, then we went to Mexico. I raced over there until 04. I remember when IOGP pulled the plug and I think thats what killed Mod-V.P. because up to that I remember them at most all of our races. The last time I seen them was at the Tri-rivers in West Virginia but I don't remember the year. RBT got to know Dr. Alex in the early 1980,s. I have been building racing outboards for over 40 years, had one of the only outboard machine shop in the south Louisiana area in the 80,s. I also know Ron, and several other well known engine giants. I have done this for most of my life, and there's not much I haven't done, seen, or plan on doing in this addiction we all seem to have.Merry Christmas!!

I don`t know man. I`ve raced all over the south also Havasu and the Parker Enduro all back in the 80`s. I raced with the SORA then APBA. I`ve raced many boats mostly Streams but the main one was our black 19ft Laser 380 comp/2.4 Merc named 'The Bull" because of our sponsor.
My name is Bobby Sanders. Sounds like we may have crossed path`s a time or two. Ya never know.

Good Evening Everyone. Still not feeling well so I thought I would post some old pics back up again of the 3 new 6 x2 intakes I have. I know who made each one, but let's see who else knows the creators. Dave S. yours should be the one in the middle. I still would like to see what you have. I will start posting pics of some trick engines tomorrow for sure. I know someone's got to have something cool to post, please feel free to join the party. Bull I'm certain I know you because your name is very familiar to me for some reason, maybe too many hard hits to my head or just too many birthdays catching up with me. Thanks again to all and just be patient I could write a book about all of my adventures with outboards and boat racing. What a ride!!!!

Just to help BV out 😉

Most on here know about and have seen these projects so I’ll just post some pixs.
Some OMC crap I dug out of dumpsters over the yrs.
