I love the idle as much as it ripping up the rev range.

Those are some crazy looking pipes. Kinds reminds me of a hooka.

The idle sounds like the beginning of Hot For Teacher. Love it.

It looks like an outboard engine minus lower unit with headers to me.

Fairly certain that has been posted here a number of times before, but the search function of this board doesn't allow actually finding old posts.

We have one, on the back of my dad's speed boat:

Its a bit finnicky, and getting pretty old (1985) and hard to find parts. When it works, the boat runs about 90mph, and sounds like a Nascar engine at idle.

^We're going to need about a million more details on your dad's boat.

Wait, that's not some hillbilly welding chain saw motors together and with a little time and determination you could find one hiding in a shed?

Huh. Now where's the MR2 with a dead engine?

Mine is bigger, but it doesn't rev as high or sound so angry

Didn't Cushman us OMC motors hooked up to RWD Chevy bolt pattern transmissions in the trucksters? I know that some boat 2-stroke motors can be fitted into vehicles using that bell but the details escape me.

The boat is a 21' Eliminator Daytona, a modified tunnel hull from California. Its fiberglass with a balsa cored running surface.

Anyone that says Florida doesn't have twisties, hasn't seen our creeks and rivers.
