Does anyone know if/ who made a straight inboard Chevy 6 banger drive? It seems like I remember seeing this setup in a twin screw boat at one time? Searches turn up lots of I/Os, but no luck on straight inboards.

I would love to find a RH rotation, 292 (or 250) Chevy six cylinder inboard. Prefer flywheel aft with 1:1 gearbox.

Were these made , or am I just dreaming? Thanks!

I fished on a bay built with a 250 inboard when I was a kids many years ago. Seen plenty of I/O's, too.

The RH version will be hard to find and I'd bet it would be custom. Better off keeping the LH rotation and, if you really need RH, use a counter rotating gear. I'm sure you could buy several props for what the gear costs.

chevy put them into trucks well into the 80's so there are plenty of blocks out there.

The current engine is a Ford 6 , FFW setup that spins a RH wheel. Will probably end up rebuilding it, if I cant find a RH Chevy flywheel aft.
I figured about the only way to find the Chevy was half of an old twin engine setup. Other issue could be if I need a new cam for the backwards chevy...
