Engine rebuilder near Toronto, Ontario
Hello All! I'm looking for someone to take my stock 454 Mag MPI (385HP) up to at least 500HP or swap it out! Searched alot of threads, but looking for a good marine mechanic somewhere close who is up to the task.
Anyone have one to recommend? OR a proven recipe I can start with?
thanks in advance! the snow is melting!

H2X Boss:
Are you going to do the R&R yourself and just need the engine shop or do you need a rigging shop? I have seen many boats at Speedmaster Marine just north of Toronto that had engines done at Active, rigging at Speedmaster.
Contact Ted (905) 939-0963.
