I'd also sell it and switch to a 502 based platform. The 525 is a killer motor. A 575sci is also worth a look. More basic fi than the 525 but oft cheaper used.

Nice! A buddy used to have one. Strong trucks with massive torque off the bottom. Unusually large gains are had from a tune. It's basically the same engine as a merc. 496.
