Thanks everyone .... I can't beleive how nice that Merc Blue in a can works from one of the members here .... it was like $12 a can and it paints incredible. Goes on evenly and leaves an awesome finish. I will be losing the power steering pulley unfortunately because I need one with more setback to line up with the main pulley. Can't return it to Summit now! Anybody need a standard setback Pwr Steering pulley??!! 
Change in plans ... engine install this Friday, my last vacation day this year ... yeah baby!

Well, had a big weekend already, I picked up my new motor at AETCO yesterday and brought it home from Chicago today. Awesome dyno results of 531 HP @ 5300 and 568 ft lbs of torque at 4700. Great results for a 502 without anything super hot in it other than HP500 stuff and a 850 Holley.
Here are some pics of it before covering and wrapping for the trip home. I plan to finish dressing it and get it in by mid December then I can putz with the details until spring!

12-8 Update
It was a great day yesterday~! I love it when everything fits perfectly together and clicks!
My buddy Brad helped me drop the new 502 in the boat yesterday, went perfectly due to a lot of organizing and pre-planning. I love it when the gimbal alignment is right on .... even though there is not much you can do with race mounts. The 150,000 BTU torpedo heater made a huge difference also with the temps in the 20's outside
................. 60 degrees inside!
Everything has gone so well and so fast it's going to take forever now for the 4 month's of final rigging waiting for spring to try it out
