the z engine

[fbref5269]

hi all,

i've been fortunate enough to pick up some quincy z engines from francis latta, larry latta's widow. i've taken some pictures since i've not seen too many of them posted. the pictures are of a z 125, z175, z250 and 2 z rb. they are soooo much easier to work on than the loopers.

i have some questions for paul.... on the 2 z rb engines i have the carb is facing away from the boat and the plugs are facing inside the boat.... now on the 125, 175 and the 250 the carb is facing inside the boat and the plug is facing the 90 degrees from that. did you and your dad change the engineering on the smaller engines? also what do i need to do to convert one of the rbs to a regular 350 b?

right now the 125 is almost together and when it is i'll post pictures.
