Renewed Talks about a 67 Novarossi Outboard Engine

[julianconde]

I have a 67 on a tunnel that is less than 34" runs great lol

 

[rumrunner]

I have a mac 84 on a hornet think its 33.5 runs like a champ.

 

[dave roach]

That engine would run great on a 355 Thor

what leg will this bolt up too?

We will work on a bolt pattern to match the old K&B 46 or 67 pattern. That way there are plenty of lowers such as K&B, Lawless, Hyperperformance, and others.

thank you can not wait to try one

Those big block engines carry a tunnel boat through the turns like an animal and with all that available torque, they make trimming a boat a snap. A very exciting class to drive. Be careful on the start though, they will come out of the corner and be on the line before you know it.

But how much does that thing weigh ha ha

 

[Alan Elzer]

Ron I'd be interested in one as well, maybe 2. Keep me posted on them.

You know it must weigh about 50 pounds give or take lol

Thanks for the great feedback and interest in the engine guys. Novarossi IT monitors this site and places customer comments in high regard. I am in active talks with them and will update you soon. If they decide to move forward, it would require them to take the existing 67DD engine, replace the inboard PTO with an outboard PTO/mounting plate/PTO shaft, and extend the crankshaft threads to accomodate a starter cone, and add the collet/cone/nut. It will be a major tooling and design investment for the PTO housing, PTO shaft, and new crankshaft. I have given them an initial order estimate in response to the feedback here and directly and will be in touch soon. Thank you.

Ron im sure dad would end up with one! Hopefully they can get it done

 

[julianconde]

It would be great speacially to add more setups for E/F tunnels. I see more boats getting build if it happens

 

[topfuel443]

id be up for one Ron. I could probably talk Don Gilbert into one as well. the .46 runs awesome

 

[Wayne Johnstone]

Might have to include me Ron

Thanks Gabe. Glad Don is interested too. I may need your help. Since the clearances are so close do you see a problem with making the PTO with threaded holes? Then it would only require drilling out the four existing threaded holes where the 46 PTO mounts now to the lower and you woukd come up through the bottom of the lower with a longer 6/32 screw (like the old K&B 67 mounts), and instead of screwing directly into the case you would screw into the threaded holes on the PTO. What are your thoughts about that?

I dont see that being a big issue Ron, its definitely doable in my opinion. I know Kevin Lee has played with converting these as well and may be able to chime in. I cant think of any reason that wouldn't be feasible though, aside from the lower unit being drilled. if you needed to use the lower for another engine, you could always use longer screws with nuts on the bottom side. Let her rip tater chip!
