Hello. What options are available these days as an upgrade from stock 2004 6.2 MX mercruiser engines. Any one running a custom rebuild, Ilmor, Mast, Marine power LS engines with more horsepower? If so, how much gain is there?

You can do in LS world too. 4.185” bore x 4.125” stroke in a LSX block.

SB,
Actually, it specs a 4.25 bore, so it's a 4" stroke. I'm guessing they'd have to be Siamesed cylinders.....?
The key, here, is that it would appear to be feasible squeeze a couple of "BigBlocks" where there isn't room for a couple of BigBlocks. I don't know how well these would hold up to the duty cycle in a marine application, but I'm sure that could be addressed at assembly/build with proper valve train specs, right?
Thanks. Brad.
