For clarity- there's a big difference between an engine from 1-800 and a GMPP crate engine. The GMPP stuff is high quality and assembled well. A little bit of marinization and you have an excellent engine.

I bought a SBC Power Pack setup from Runsnew and had some carb issues. The A Hole was very rude and pretty much told me it's not his problem.
I was directed to Crusader/Pleasurecraft Marine as they are the ones assemble that particular motor. They were very helpful and even sent me a new carb. free of charge. I menioned the poor service to the rep. and he stated it wasn't the first time they had issues with Runsnew. Also, a friend of mine bought one of there "upgraded" 502 motors only to have the cam come apart after 15 hours. Runsnew did not stand behind it either! |
make sure this is a marine motor and the tolerances are opened up on the bearings . i had a new 502 in my boat when i bought it and shortly after spun a a rod bearing on number five . it will not last if it is the car motor.

1) order zz 502 from GM dealer. 2)Take to your favorite marine mechanic 3)Open checkbook slightly for marinizing/valves, etc 4)Smile wickedly as your 550/ft lbs of torque crushes boat next to you. 5)Laugh at Mercurys prices. |
