500efi's vs 502/500Hp
Both Blue Motors.
Which is better motor?
More reliable?
What are the issues with EFI's?
What are the issues with 502's?
Pros/Cons?
What you would run if you could run either?
Finally, has anyone ever heard of pulling 502/500 HP
heads "just because" Merlin heads are better? I know
Merlin has good products. But, doesn't Merc Racing put
together a pretty good package.

Re: 500efi's vs 502/500Hp
They are both 502's
So your question is what's the difference between the 500HP and the 500 EFI.
The only issue I know of on the 500HP is change the valve springs at 200 hours
Thought of another one , if the 500HP has the gil exhaust and the risers are low you have some risk of reversion.
Oh one other thing, I believe that the 500HP was blueprinted and balanced, the 500 EFI isn't.

Basically from what I have been told is that the 500EFI motor is a better motor. I have HP500 carb motors, I like them-- EFI's would be nicer, but much more money.
