Jeff....I do plan on upgrades for the 500's. We are going with a bigger cam and better valves for now. Next year we will probably do more upgrades to them. If I can get headers for the price of manifolds I'm in. Besides who doesn't like more bling???

Call David Wade Marine in Baton Rouge. I dont know if he still has it or not, but he had the cig that went in the woods a couple years ago on the tf200. The motors were fried but I believe they were hp500`s. you may get a good deal on used parts

CJ I am thinking of putting some Dart heads on the engines. Do you think that would be a good choice? I have a set already so I would only need to buy 1 more set.
I have a 540c.i. Bowtie engine that I may start to cannibalize. The 540 is down to the short block so the parts are readily available. To many options in to little time with not enough money = a big effin headache!!!

They are fine, but they do have wet joint between the riser and manifold. Gils probably flow a little better. Also, you would probably need a new bracket for ALT/PS. I did when I put Imco's on my 454mag.
