MerCruiser In Line 6 Twin Carb???

[Fleetwin]

Hey All,

I looked at an old Dorset, the other day. I don't know the year. Maybe a project?

It had a MerCruiser drive and an in-line six cylinder which looked like a GM block, to me. It ran well.

What threw me was the twin carburetor set up.

Is that stock?

The old (63-66) 140 & 150's had duel carbs. Yes, there was a 6 cyl 140.

Thank you Don. I believe, as you stated, it is from the Sixties.

My parents had an owens with the 150 duel carb I6 when I was a youngn.

My dad still talks about how that thing ran and how much power it had.
