Picture #2:

Kevin Komorowski is the tall blond in the brown jacket on the right.

Jeff "Aynard" Vanstrom is the guy on the right in the blue t-shirt that says "Menasha".

Dennis Zolkoske is the guy in the silver Mercury jacket.

Teddy Evans, Dan's brother is in the camo rain coat with the red/white hat on the right.

I think that is Dick Engler in the beard on the left.

OK ----------- Thanks everyone for the naming of people in the last post pictures. You guys got great memories!

Our next engine is in the process of build up by BRF engine builder Tim Kurcz. This is another mod engine Tim is building for the up and coming season. What we need to know is what is Tim building here? Those pipes are wild looking! But check out that induction system in the works. Any ideas what Tim has up his sleeve on this one?

Good Luck!

Hi Tom,

You've got to love this site! Never heard or seen of this engine before, but somebody knew what they were doing. Definitely an OMC with twin plug heads, a two-bbl front and auxiliary one-bbl at the transfers with a cam linkage. Interesting it has a D-Merc gearcase which tells me it had to make some power. Also, it appears the exhaust is totally enclosed; perhaps an internal expansion chamber? Judging from the boat vintage and the 2-blade prop, I'm guessing it ran early FE taking advantage of the no-minimum weight rules, because it's way too radical for 25Mod........

Looking again, there are what appear to be three reed plates behind the front carb. Perhaps these are spacers to allow higher reed opening.

Id be afraid to use an AB foot, 3" thumpers at least. The only things that even look like they are where they were are the head, coils & custom flywheel. The pump is moved & was where the aux. carb is. Very cool.

OK - Its been a while since we had a engine posted here so here goes.

This engine was recently displayed at the 2009 Fall AOMCI meet at Mark Suters. It is another exotic Mod outboard that has been built over the past 2 years.

Can anyone tell us what the engine is? What mods were made and the brain behind this one of a kind mod outboard engine?

The block is from a 50-60 2 cyl. OMC or..

A OMC fuelpump and ignition.. on a Merc Mid section..
the rest I dont know..but I like it..

Maybe a SST 45 High Perf...

You have to give Tim a lot of credit for what he comes up with. He takes class rules and works from there. Be it OMC or Merc, he is willing to try anything.

Thanks to Lars, John, and Al for responding.

You guys sure pegged me as the builder way too quickly! Based on the images, can determine the modifications? Hint: This is an APBA FE/850 legal engine that began life as a 45SS. Good luck!

Well they did good didn't they Tim. Of course not to many people do work like yours either. OK lets try and figure out what Tim built here.
