Frank,
My dad only built one 4-cylinder C service. We didn't have much luck with it and I'm not sure where it wound up. The crank work in this one is not something we normally did.
The steel welded up muffler looks very much like the ones Larry Latta used and he predominately ran 4 cyl Merc (we had aluminum). Also, judging the fact that it took over 2 days to get all the castor off also sounds like it could have been one of Larry's. My dad always had me there to clean his off! Jack Kugler may have gotten this motor from Larry, they were very close.
I believe Tim Warren won C Service runabout in 1982 in Bakersfield, CA. Tim and Todd ran hydro and runabout with a 4-cylinder in that timeframe.
Regards,
Chris Hellsten
