I don't want to step on someones thread but I just want to coment on the old inline 6.Out of the box WOT is 5800 rpm.And for the merc 1500's you can bore the cylindars to .040 over .That equates to ovey a quater inch more displacement.There not called tower of power for nothing.I'll admitt there not easy on fuel

Please, step away all you want, all comments appreciated.
I agree on the tower of power. They made a few that would spin to 6800 and higher. I think the race models were the 1500XS.
I had the opportunity to put a couple pistons in a 1984 90 hp Inline for a friend. That motor absolutely screamed on the back of his 17' Aquasport Osprey.
For nostalgia, the twin tower of power would be so cool.

With my 1977 merc 1500 I use some aviation fuel mixed in the crap and she screams on it.
