      The way it's looking right now I'd say a Mercury Racing 450R Outboard.

          That old Swartz 502 would be a back marker.

            Well that would depend on if you are running Hydraulic steering or a cable system.

                Yeah, it was a joke. I assumed it was obvious.

                    I'd assume horsepower matters more than torque. That said, possibly a big bore, short stroke combo? I dunno.

                        Mike Duvall built one back in 00' he took to the first Bristol he dubbed, "Brutus". No idea how big it was though.
