Fast Fred's Secrets of the OMC MOD50's Thread #1

[Fast Fred]

this power head, previously shown, has been sold.

thare is another, to back this one up.

[Mark75H]

Did it go to another guy racing in your class?

[Fast Fred]

it's on a Drag boat, guys in my class feel 56 cubes will save them, or 999cc of Yamaha with nic bore. if need be i'll melt it it to a blob of slag for the win,i don't think that will be necessary

[Detroit Whitey]

These little motors are not the answer for X class but they are better in the mod classes.they just dont have the ball`s even with 2brl carb set up.You just show up there fred and we`ll see about the 49 vs 56 i can tell ya it`s not gonna keep up even if ya paddle as fast as ya can.

[Fast Fred]

Yup, Yup..... the Merc guys said the same, Hey not like thares any chance i'll pull out a long rod 58 incher with an M31 front 1/2 on it ya no chance of that

[Ron Hill]

Fred can you tell me the year by looking at the water pick ups???

What cubic inch are these three holers???

[Fast Fred]

i gots a 55hp with them pickups, it's the big foot, it's like 2.50 to 1, ski foot or works good to like 800ft at the Drags. early to mid 70tys, showin it in the 74 and 75 service manuals, they refer to it as a 20" transom LU
