Great, then you have plenty of time to talk to numerous independent repair shops about bolting things on Merc "black" motors. I know one in Havasu you can start with. Next time your out there I'll introduce you.

The problem with modifing a 496, the warranty would go like some threads around here........poof!

The ECU is a Motorolla 555 with a crank trigger, cam sensor and has knock sensors. timing and fuel delivery are controlled also aluminum heads with closed cooling vs cast iron on the 500 with open cooling... much MUCH better for turn key driving
