If I could have just held out for a little while longer, I might still have it.

Having to sell that car made me make a promise to myself NEVER to live with debt again. Meaning anything but a mortgage.

I like the flattops just because they're weird looking.

Loaded out too! If it wasn't a flat top, I'd be on my way. Even if the colors do suck. I think they are ugly as sin.

I thought your old 59 was a flat top.

Yes, I've seen that outboard and outboard engines do that. I guess I never thought about a car engine in a boat doing the same thing. The intake pipe would have to be pretty big, right?  Is it sucked in and pumped out with the engine's regular car water pump?

Kinda like some vintage firetrucks, huh?

Unless the new super $$$ stuff has fresh water cooling, it's all cooled by a water intake in the lower unit. The pump, pumps it through  the cooling system like any other IC engine. Inboard or outboard. The heated water gets expelled through the exhaust outlet, upper and lower also cooling the exhaust.

That's funny. I guess seawater was used to cool the engine?  Does it just suck in fresh seawater and empty it back into the ocean without going through a radiator?
