    Just a couple of the many motors dad built for well know drivers. I know this is all old stuff, but my son would be upset if i showed all the specs.This book is about 1 inch thick full of motor specs that he built for people over the years. There are even about 5, 75 hp omc motors he built to go to South America. These motors were blue printed to UIM specs. At that time the specs were in m.m. an had to be coverted to eng.They may still be. Bucky Morris's CCC was one Jenk's had just got, before he died. Rusty Campbell ran dads omc 75's for years . This V6 Merc was on a 16 foot Chitchfeld (sp) with full cowl an ran in VX in NOA. There are MOD 50 specs, OMC 235, Omc 50, OMC 25 stock, And MOD. 20H, 55H, Quincy A,B.C',D Looper ,Konig, Hot Rod, KG4,. KG7 Lighting. D Mod, E mod, FE (75 OMC). And this is just one book

    You continue to surprise me with all the stuff you post Danny. You must be sitting on a gold mine of information. Understand that some things you need to keep under wraps...but feed us what you can.

    Top- lyle Mason's FEH, Dayton OH. mid 80's One of the fastest FEH's of all time. This Yale would run DMH,EMH and FEH. i think Grandpa Mason won the DMH Nat's, in it around 1978 at age 70 years old.
    Bottom- Melvin Cooper, driving LW Battle's new DeSliva 500 Hydro at Hazelhurst GA. 1985. This was Sheriff E.l. Hatton land. Hatton, LW Battle and Melvin Cooper were all South Eastern Boating Asso. Drivers in the 50's and 60's. If you had a race boat behind your truck/car the cop's would wave at you, Sheriff Hatton had a lot of pull in this part of GA.
