Help Identifying This Engine "Dick Simon"?
 

Looking at a 1998 boat that the owner says was equipped with a "540 horsepower Keith Black engine". The engine appears to be a stock 415 Mercury Marine with a clear anodized intake on it.

Can anybody identify this engine?

Any information on if it was a custom engine or just a manifold swap.

Thanks

540hp with the stock cast iron exhaust is not likely, IMO.

i agree! I am no expert but.......

I call Bullchit:Whatever:

There must be someone on here from dick simon marine.

Doesn't Kieth Black build race CAR motors??

I believe he builds Tractor Puller motors as well.
Use to hear the name alot at the Pulls :D
