Status: offline 		Very rare T4 with a Fox .40 as a power head. Doubt this motor has ever been fired up.





Rare AMPS tunnel with another rare motor with a Fox 60 Hawk as powerhead.










IH Seebold Racing tunnel with a K&B 7.5 for powerhead.




Out of all of these, hope to get the Seebold tunnel running at some point. The others are collector items and will kept as such.


Nice thread!

Status: offline 		Only difference to what to the tilt is that the level is vertical instead of horizontal. But yea, thats is the unit on the AMPS tunnel also. You can see the unit in the pic with the driver / cowl laying on the boat.
