1989 twin 502's carberated, with bravo 1's, She'll run 69.8 with 26 pitch 4 blades. at 4900 rpm. I figure the engines to be about 500 hp. Never dynoed. She's still in the fiberglass shop. Hoping to get her back soon.

Make sure you check the gimbal rings with no hydraulic steering. Was common for 502's with no hydraulic steering at that time. Most manufacturers now put hydraulic steering on that power package with twins.
