Seems to me the Homelite/Fricer Price 4 cycle outboard was a car engine set on end also.

Dont know how how Bruce handled oil delivery thankin dry sump
Hey guys, The "557" is a horizontal crank all-aluminum BBC with wet sump. Go to the website and look up specs. Complex and powerful, quick change. Got to be the most powerful "production" outboard ever built.

Here is pictures I took at the Miami Boat Show last year..the engine looks for real..
Needs a Low water pick-up , surfacing prop and jack it to the sky.
that thing is insane
Steering done right ( OMC patented this years ago)
twin pinion lower to take the grunt
Wonder if they used anybodys bolt pattern on the lower???
Actually, it's a modern GM small block, not a big block Chevy:"The 6.2-liter V8 outboard features an all-aluminum, supercharged powerhead sourced from GM Powertrain that is the same engine used in the Cadillac CTS-V automobile."
But at $70, 000 each, I'd prefer a good Crusader/ Volvo outdrive.

How much is a 525efi Merc ?
496 MAG H. O. and Bravo III $29,525
That's for a standard big block and Bravo III drive. The really hot motors and drives are probably twice that amount.
