I'm sure he will gladly answer all your B1X questions.

Hope this helps.

Funny you should say that , Mr G has one of my drives at the moment , he has allready had one now he is doing the other / machine for a steel collar ,renforced top cap and set up the gears .i never bought the boat new only had it 2 years but i am sure they are stock B1 and they came new with the boat with the 496ho 2001 pantera ,even thow i live in the UK i found MR G to be the man for for building the B1 very good and reliable.

When I gave mercury racing my engine # they said it was a 2000 model engine which is funny because on their prop selector web page it only has 2001 for an option on my motor not 2000. Either way it is deff not a 2002 so I am sure it does not have the PCM555. Whipple is looking like a much better option for my boat at this point.

Mercruiser started supplying 496"s in late 2000 and we have personally seen a few. ALL 496's ever produced by Mercruiser have the PCM555 ecm's.
