Who's had the most engine hours in a performance application?
I saw a post for the ultiimate engine and thought I would ask.....my 330;s had 300+ hours on them when things started letting go. I know a guy with a 1989 Baja with a 454 mag with over 800 hrs on it!! and
he beats the crap out of it....nothing but oil changes.....

I bought a Baja Sport 280, twin 330`s, new in fall of 1990. We used it here at the lake for 12 seasons with very little trouble. I lost one motor at 666 hrs (yup as soon as the hour meter turned 666 it seized) I sold it Sept 2002 with 880 hrs and it is still running strong.
A buddy of mine has a '85 Formula 206 (260 Mercruiser )with over 1200 hrs. Never had the valve covers off.
There's a lot to be said for stock mild power!

I believe that Devil Man (SCOPE member and founder?) had put more than 600 hours on his 1000hp Paul Pfaff motors. I can't recall what his OSO name is (and it might not be Devil Man), but I'm sure he'll chime in.
