Re: 502 backfires
This motor ran fine then all of a sudden this started?
Its most likely ignition or fuel.
Recheck your firing order.
Check ignition timing.
A merc Scan tool would be nice.
Whats your fuel pressure?
While holding the throttle at 2000rpm pull a plug wire
then put it back. See if you can get the backfire to stop out of that bank. See if you can narrow it down to what cylinders.

If the drive oil monitor is not hooked up and one of the leads is grounded, or oil level is low, the engine will be in "Power Reduction Mode" which will limit revs by not firing injectors above a certain RPM (i think 2000).
