PS: Interesting that TIm bolts the reed holders to the block where the old carbs bolted on. I did it the same way with my El Crude-Oh setups. Any other similarity ends there!

Tim it is looking great. As you know Doug used your castings for the exhaust of the 75-H he built. If you need any info on that your welcome to run over and take some measurements. I have some photos also if you would like them. He water cooled the filler block.

Hey Jeff,
Your observation about the carb flange mounting is instructive for those that may want to build similar mods. Note that the diagonal ribs remain untouched - they are needed to support the crankshaft thrust loads. Also, they are convenient hard points. The only other attachment option is the crankcase flange, which would require a complicated, difficult to machine, and heavier bridge casting.

Would be legal in Pro on a runabout (1100 CCR) Would love to see it entered at the nationals.....Bob
Another great opportunity to hear that sweet sound (& smell). What engines are commonly run in 1100 runabout? Is the class run in the midwest?
A little more 666 progress....
Tim
In the 1100 Runabout class they mostly run Konig or Koney 700 cc engines, maybe a few 800+ engines and a VRP or Rossi. There is a Merc 6 cylinder run of Alky which can beat the Konigs. I believe it is a 66 ci. out of Calif. If your 666 isset up it should be competitive. The class is run in Constantine, Mich. and at the Pro Nationals. Too bad there are not more races for this class, It is a real crowd pleasure. ....Bob N-96
