Nevermind, I see it now. Hopefully it can be bored and new pistons and whala. If I were you I'd rebuild it as it was or close to it but load a blower on. Then you can always remove the blower if you want and still have a good platform n/a. I know philms engine/boat runs great so if that is rudys work it looks reputable to me.

I got the motor out and stripped down to long block
would like to build it up a little(550-600hp),depends on $$$
I'm just trying to read up on what to do and what not to do.
my wife says I spend too much time on this computer trying to figure it all out
I appreciate all the info/advice you guys have given me so far

Tommy, Low hours. We have 530 hours on a stock 502 MAG/MPI. Is your pole barn at your house? Any pictures? I'm looking to build one for our AT. Its been in a HiDri facility in Port Deposit since 2001.
