[Scream And Fly]

I think this was posted before, but I am trying to find out details on exactly what this is. Looks like a small block Chevy mounted on an OMC race midsection. Anybody have more photos or details?

Must be dry sump oil system.
Used on a lot of high performance 4 strokes these days.

Yes its the late Burt Hines setup from Australia on a CCC mid, yes its cast iron, yes very fast in straight line, yes it didnt go around corners too well
I will ask on the ozzie sites as I think his son posts there.

70s-80s there was lots of ideas tried on our outboard motors
the small blocks were tried on em
guess thats where 7marine came up with the new style version using the ls based motor on theirs,,,lol
that didnt last very long at the price of it and lots of mechanical failures on the cc boats
remember when mercury put 2 powerheads on 1 mid,,,,,
land and sea had the turbo kit to try make work
lots of cool things was tried then,,,,some worked and some didnt,,,,
i miss gaylen burden with his ideas he had in the 80s we had the pleasure to try and use
