I honestly thought someone would have suggested selling the HP 500 and just buying a 540 as opposed to conversion.
A lot less work and prob cost less in the long run too.

Just curious, what did you buy the 500 HP for? I've got a 502 MAG (black engine) that I would ultimately like to upgrade and a 500 HP EFI would be what I'd want or replicate for reliability.

So I was just showing that you could sell the 500 HP EFI and buy a 540 for maybe half price.

my hp 500 efi has a broke crank and 2 damaged pistons needs some other stuff accessory wise but I was thinking of throwing a crank and a few pistons in it and offloading it just wasn't sure what it would be worth without the headers and accessories
