FD-67 Just about done

RogerH · 02-16-2008

Couldn't wait for the finishing touches - wanted to share a few pictures of the "finished" product. Given that I got it as a rusted-cruddy hulk, I'm just happy to have it together again and in running condition. I replaced the small reed blocks with a new large port set and added a CD-distributor ignition from a Merc650. The best parts about doing the Looper and the Deflector motors are the knowledge I gained and the people I've met and heard about. Thanks for all the help along the way with these fantastic motors!!!
Regards,
Roger

hi roger,

that's a far cry from the mud bee santuary you started out with! can't wait to have you tell us what it sounds like. it's been fun figuring out what goes thru all those holes in the block. sam cullis's diagram helped.

i've got fc52 almost done. putting the lower unit together today. it polished up real nice. i'll give you a call this week about the ingnition. i want to use the tested you made for me.

take care,

frank

That is sweet looking D. I had the same megaphones on the 44 Flathead I had and it really does sound different between the generations of exhaust. I am also impressed that this one (like others I have seen restored here) is cleaner than when they were delivered. Beautiful job!
