Here's my latest project - a pair of FE/850 engines designed to beat the rule book again....... Bore, stroke, and six port cages right? Can't wait to fire them..... The water has returned to liquid state here in the north country, so it won't be long!

And from what I gather, legal in APBA Modified Outboard 850CCMH and 850CCMR classes only. Looks like the rule book has been beat for some time now. I just hope someone can beat Lopez's 56CI records set in the class..

UIM F3 Closed Course Record is 104mph.
What kind of straight speed would that be?

Not much more on a course like old Lakeland Fla. Jim Stone ran 98 + with a D Konig. I think this was 1979. Jimbo held the APBA MOD 50 Kilo at about 112 in this time . Not trying to start anything, just would like some history on this. Very few people would think that a motor this size would run this fast,They think that a Allison with a hot 2.5 is really fast going 100 mph.

Always heard the rumor about Mike Lopez and the sleeved down 56........ decided to test the theory. As stated before, much as it's intriguing, we'll never see F3 speeds because Mods run gas & oil. I'll be glad to see one of the twins get laps speeds of 90 for 1 mile 3-lap. Can't wait!

Am I missing something.....
a mod 50 runs gas and oil and a 56 runs???

Your right MOD50 did and UIM F3 Runs Gasoline.
Record is 104.49 mph set in 2006.

The Formula 500 (Pro Capsule Alchohol) record is 105 mph around the course.
