maintenance on the small blocks is easy. the normal stuff. plugs, cap & rotor, impellers, oil. the quarters are a bit tight to get into on the 292. usually handing upside down for impellars and laying over the engine to get to the outside plugs but aside from a chipped exhaust valve 3 seasons ago they are pretty manageable. I have 350s in my 292. In addition to all that previous stuff I mentioned, with the 6.2s you may have a few IACs that need to be replaced cause they have a tendency to overheat. Not all that familiar with scorpions, I've heard & read really good stories and then there are bad ones. I think you get those with any high performance engine.

Looks great! I find Lime-Away works good for removing hard water deposits on props and other stainless steel hardware back there. Should clean up nice and run real good with those engines. Good luck!

LUCKY! Maybe you will be ready to step up at the same time I am ready to step up. That is the exact setup that I want to go up to next. Good find, I hope it all goes well! Maybe we will see it down on the Chesapeake Bay near Kent Island one day!
