Is the 6.2 a LS based motor?

Yep, all Merc since GM isn't supplying base engines for them anymore. But HEAVILY based on the old stuff.

/\/\/\/\/\/\ What Techman said.

The 6.2 moniker makes everyone think they are LS.
The "original" 6.2's were standard bore 350 blocks with 3.75" stroke cranks. Comes out to 377CI (6.2L).
Mercury's new 6.2's are a clean sheet in house design they say. Article about them.
Appears old school SBC with maybe LS valvetrain.

Kind of a shame too because Ilmor is marinizing the 6.2L LT4 from GM marine for Mastercraft wake boats (630HP @ 5500, 665 lb-ft @ 3800 RPM) and Malibu is doing a version of it also in house.
Compared to Mercury's 350HP 6.2. :grinser010:
