Several years back I repowered my ICBM with a pair of 454HO's from them. Incredible price and easy to deal with. These were factory new GM base engines. The 632 is a hand assembled motor and is only as good as the guy assembling it.

Do they build these inhouse?

If not, who do they use?

Great thread by the way

You could whipple this 632ci motor for another 7 grand and have an approximately 1000 hp motor for under 17k

What is the CR on the 600 hp model?

Thanks Pure Energy!
Here is another question. These appear to be base engines. How much $$ is involved in turning these motors into a drop in ready to run?
5k?
more?

I noticed they got a 1-year warranty on the motor. Holy Chit!!!!

When I bought my boat it had 1990 454s. So I bought the 502 base motors and used everything from the 454s to complete them, except for the exhaust that I upgraded.

I don't know what it would cost to complete buying all new accessories. Maybe someone else will chime in for that.

I don't rely to heavy on warrenties. He said he would take care of any problem, but he said he has had people blow motors by misuse, or modifaction and try to lie about it to get new motors for free, so I don't think it is easy to get things fixed under warranty. Mine have never missed a beat. Oh yea, I supercharged mine and they love it!!!

I bought a stock marine 502ci three years ago, it was a brand new long block. The price was the best!
As far as what you are looking at, I doubt it is built in house. I would find out who is actually building the motor and talk to them! It's only a good deal if the motor lives!!!

Recon builds them... this is solely what they do. All around good company, I've never heard anything bad about them.
