Don't fool around with any Merc Stuff. Listen to Lightspeed and Pure Energy and build a JC Performance Mill for what ever boat you decide on THolland.....

Hi Rick,
Sorry, but yes you are wrong. All the GM 496cube/8.1L engines come through stock with cast pistons, even the 525HP HP3.
There are aftermarket kits with forged pistons available now though.

It's my understanding that some of the very first 496 HOs came with forged internals.
