That's a loaded question. I think Griff summed it up
Have a leak down test done one the motor. will tell you everything.
P.S. i know a guy in a 1988 40 Silverton that has 2000 hours on his original 502's.

Re: 502 Question
Get a leakdown and a Dyno run done on the engines. Still there are no for sures on used engines.But 600 hours is very high. Just price it out planning on freshening up the engines before they blow. This should run around $3,000 per engine vs. 10,000 each if you blow one and screw the blocks up.
