502 MAG/MPI. With Gil exhaust and K&N filter.

Where did you look for your engine? I'd like to pick up a nice rebuildable engine and go from there. I'm a mechanic with 25 years experience and have built engines for my old drag cars......so I'd like to try one for the AT.

The 525 came from a private seller in the oso classifieds, the 496HO just seemed expensive to build up w/o the most reliable results. Now if I whipple the 525 that would be even nicer. The 502 is a much better starting point to build up from what I know. The problem is $$$--When did boats get so expensive!

You might want to stay away from the whipple. Just ask docmanrich.

They got expensive when we go into boating....But its worth it. Are you doing the work or are you having someone else do it? We keep our AT in a HI-DRI facility on the Susquehanna River in Port Deposit, Md. so doing anything extensive is taking time away from the season. Hopefully this winter a garage on my Mother in laws property will be finished to the point of me getting the boat in there for the winter so I can do all the things I've been gathering parts for over the years. Good Luck and keep us posted.

I loved the sound of my 525 but I had mufflers. But it would still bark

The 525 should go in within the next two weeks, no mufflers and taking off the silent choice, that's for sale in the oso classifieds also. As for the whipple, that is on the wish list, someone said the imco shorty drive is a good option. As for the expensive part, just like to complain but if it is a good modification to the boat you won't have to twist my arm to go to the bank.
