Ever owned an LS /6.2 gm powered vehicle (cough Escalade.. wish they kept the 6.0 that was a much better engine)? I am highly suspect of GM's quality/assembly of the 6.2s. Great performer but I doubt the durability especially in large numbers of marine applications. Just my preference I would rather have a 502 based engine for marine use. Will be interesting to see how they perform over the long term, starting to see more 6.2s in skiboats too.
Chuck, an answer to this?
Heey, that's unfair to Lemmy. Lemmy is god

It sure runs well in the 42 Nor-Tech Monte Carlo. I went out in that boat yesterday. Plenty of torque. Just eased up on plane. Very quiet with x-haust, yet still good sound. Digital shifting is smooth. Speed is in the mid-eighties. Very fast for that size boat, power level and price. 8.7L displacement gets my vote.

do you really think the Ilmore in incapable of that? With the amount of tech and design talent available in house there i am quite certain 2-400hrs isnt the slightest issue. I would assume the 24hrs is just a standard baseline test as these engines live there entire life at just about WOT, something i am sure they are aware of. I do agree they should do a multi hundred hour pull and use that in media but lets face it there reputation speaks for itself. If i had the means these would be my first choice bar none. Cant wait till they have a package complete with sterndrive man i get excited just thinkin about that

I'm sure that the 565 and 570 will both be reliable packages. Competition among engine manufacturers is good for the consumer.
