572 bb
hey folks
considering that the gm/merc 572 had been out for while
i dont see a lot of threads regarding this engine
for marinized purposes compared to the 496 mag/ ho version or the 502 and hp 500 the latter 2 being the most popular
we seem to jump to sci models or even larger merc displacements
again in aftermarket we find the 540 more popular than the 572
and i believe that merc uses many aftermarket parts in their larger displacement engines also
is there a REASON FOR THIS cost or otherwise
we all know there is no replacement for displacement
and good steet engine blocks can be marinized
piston to wall clearance
ring gap
correct head work
etc etc
i was curious as to a reason for this
and is a properly marinized 572 a good choice for marine application

Give the folks at Ateco a call, they have several 572 setups.
