Great performer but I doubt the durability especially in large numbers of marine applications. Just my preference I would rather have a 502 based engine for marine use. Will be interesting to see how they perform over the long term, starting to see more 6.2s in skiboats too.
I don't think Ilmor usees a GM base engine for thie one. LS block yes, but I think the rest is Ilmor spec. The LSX block is one bad azz mofo.

Chuck, an answer to this?

You are right, I knew there was something familiar about the looks of it, and I hated it but couldn't put my finger on why. :party-smiley-004:

I'd take Ilmor all day over this. The 565 looks worse than the 502HO. FUGLY

It sure runs well in the 42 Nor-Tech Monte Carlo. I went out in that boat yesterday. Plenty of torque. Just eased up on plane. Very quiet with x-haust, yet still good sound. Digital shifting is smooth. Speed is in the mid-eighties. Very fast for that size boat, power level and price. 8.7L displacement gets my vote.

Tough crowd here ...

Looks like allot of great engineering to me :ernaehrung004:
Im ok with it...not much diff than the 1300's when it comes to unusual looking..its just different..its a change ..

24 hours??? Whoopty doo! I hope that is a misprint. The auto companies run 200 to 400 hours of WOT. If it isn't a misprint, remind me not to buy an Ilmor engine.

do you really think the Ilmore in incapable of that? With the amount of tech and design talent available in house there i am quite certain 2-400hrs isnt the slightest issue. I would assume the 24hrs is just a standard baseline test as these engines live there entire life at just about WOT, something i am sure they are aware of. I do agree they should do a multi hundred hour pull and use that in media but lets face it there reputation speaks for itself. If i had the means these would be my first choice bar none. Cant wait till they have a package complete with sterndrive man i get excited just thinkin about that :D

When the Ilmor guys told Mercury about this, Mercury's response was "Why are you going so long?". Maybe we should all put car engines in our boats... ;)

I'm sure that the 565 and 570 will both be reliable packages. Competition among engine manufacturers is good for the consumer.
