Pipes that long would have given it tremendous low end grunt.

That is so cool. I had a good friend when I was starting out in racing who converted several 44ci Mercury motors for race cars. One of those was for this very racing class. It was a British built Berkley which originally had been powered by a Villiers motorcycle motor. The other one I recall was a 3/4 Midget short track car.

Earl was tough to beat when he used Reed's 44" Mercs---But I managed ---using Bob Lowe's 48" four stroke--

On "non water Mercs"? Way back say 1966/7 at Oswego Dragstrip had a exhibition anything day (Michigan Madman with his V-8 powered bike, a dude with dual rocket engine go kart, etc) a dude had a layed down IL6 6 Merc pipes pointed out the side, inline the frame, how he worked it to run that way with a 2 speed trans was beyond me as never got a chance to see it in the pits. DAMN, that sucker SCREAMED! Searched all over for it, and can't find anything...

Learned a lot from Al about how to make power with a 44.
