jeff I am pretty sure the 87 mag was 330hp oval port heads cast crankshaft. the 88/89/90/91 454 mag. was the same as the 454 370hp of 87 and earlier that came with the trs set ups. so the 88 and up was rectangle heads forged crankshaft . differents between the 420 and the 365/370 was the gill exhaust holley 800 and maybe but not sure the cam. the 454 330hp was called the 7.4 from 88 up. I remember this from my friends baja dealership. my 88 had the 330hp 7.4 and they had two 250 sports with the mag 365hp 454 plus a friend had a sutphen87/88 with trs 454 370hp way back then. I will tell the guy with the sutphen he is still looking for motors. JEFF I tried very had to get him to buy yours last year the 496s they were sweet. later art ps is that for the pair I take it 3000gs. since they should be gone threw.
The good forged 454's are great pieces. With a little comp upgrade, and a good exhaust, you can get a little wild with the cams and make good power. I have done over 500HP with one and not gone out of the range of operability.
By the way, the 496's are actualy going into my Nortech V hull right now.

Those are Gen V 454 mags/365HP with good internals.
Forged crank and pistons. The stock flat tappet cam is .510/510, 224/224, 115.5 lobe sep.
If that is 3k for the pair, they are a great deal.

There is a solid flat and a hydralic flat. Merc would have used the hydraic flat.

I might be mistaken, but I thought these were the ones that had cast internals like the 330's, but had rectangle heads and cast internales.
