Yes, you are right, they don’t work normally but on this one I filled in an area on the bottom of the block with Marine Tex epoxy so it would work. Otherwise, there would be a massive water leak going on in there.
The exhaust housing on this motor is from a ’58 Viking which is the same as the ’54 and ’55 Johnnyrude housings and the block is from a ’58 Johnson CD. Here’s a video of it actually running in the test barrel.
