COOOOL THOUGH... 
Ever seen a small block like this?
Ever seen a small block like this? We get to see some pretty freaky stuff. This kinda takes the cake.
We had the opportunity to tune this "creation" last summer. The builder is an engineer, with a background in foundry/casting.
Its a small block,383, upright, turned into an outboard!!
He cast the valve covers, as well as the housing that the back of the block bolts to. He made the shaft housing, the tilt/trim/jacking plate. Basically everything except the engine and the "foot".
It is a masterpiece of machine work. And one of the most enjoyable things I've ever tuned.
Thought everyone might enjoy seeing this......

I rode in the back tuning at up to about 55 MPH. Not real fast, but it was alot of fun......It only was turning about 5000 rpm
Yep, looks like it was built by an engineer to me.....
I work with 200 of those characters everyday and that is definitely some over-engineering
I bet you do see some S~T~R~A~N~G~E stuff Ed. Definitely a head turner on the water, I'm sure.
