What mids interchange on the inline 6s?
Or, better yet, will an 85 hp 4 work on a inline 6?
I am hopin to snag an inline 85 4cyl with a short mid. I think the motor is 74-79 and wonderin if it will bolt to an inline 6.
 
Not sure, but my guess would be no.

Go to the Inline Newsgroup. I know I've seen similar conversation there and some of those guys are ex-racers and would know.

too hard for me to figure out how to get the messages from there. It was different when I had outlook express tied in to my ISP. I sent a message on Screamnfly to someone that will know. Waitn to hear back
 
THE INLINE SIX WILL BOLT UP TO THAT 70'S INLINE 4 MID , YOU WOULD WANT TO BE SURE IT HAD THE CORRECT EXHAUST PLATE AND TUNER TO MATCH THE POWERHEAD. I AM PRETTY SURE THERE WERE DIFFERENT EXHAUST FOR THE 90 -115 --150 INLINES
 
THANX

I had an inkling it would work. Just needed some support on the fact. I thought I had heard that someone had done it before. I have the tuners and plates-just no mid. I am guessin that you meant the 85 hp will bolt up to the 74-up inlines. Thanx again
 
yes that is what i meant .any 66.6 c.i. inline 4 from 1972 up will interchange with the inline 6 .it was the same clamp bracket and driveshaft housing.even way into the late 80's they will still interchange.
