Serial # of the engine & model and HP info is need as it sure would help. All marine related stuff goes off of serial # not so much year model but that is helpful as well.

Om 905547 . It has 575 SCI cam and other parts but it is looking like the short block may have started off as a 500 efi by the looks of the pistons.

I do not have the info at home in front of me but at my shop. Anyways what I remember off the top of my head is that Merc Racing 502 based / HP 465, HP 500, HP 600 SC & the 572 HP 800 SC based used the JE forged aluminum. The earlier big blocks HP 425 / 454 CID and the HP 450 / 454 CID used GM forged aluminum. The HP 525 SC / 454 CID used TRW forged aluminum. IMO looks like that is what you have TRW pistons.

these look like a .030 replacement, however the dish on top is not exactly the same. same cc with 1 valve release but the pic looks like a little less "D" shape. What do you think about these?
