Will this engine work?
I am looking at this engine on Ebay, but am wondering if this is truly a marine engine. Can anyone tell me if this will work?
This is the engine:
and this is the link to the Ebay auction:

That engine has been on there before. You would probably be money ahead getting an engine from a marine engine builder if you don't want to build your own. Why take expensive chances on ebay (unknown) stuff.

I got 6 engines in my shop right now.
That Scarab is long gone, I got 1 more on the way and I am negotiating on 2 others.
Going to be a busy winter, but hopefully a profitable spring.

That is the old off-the-shelf marine performance 502 from GM Performance. The new one has a roller cam and inconel exhausts and has a street price of about $12,500. It's the same engine as the old LS-6 425 horse 454 but with a siamese bowtie block and of course more displacement. With a marine roller cam, roller rockers, a better intake and an 850 Holley you'll have a 600 horse engine, provided your exhausts are up to the task. I can't remember if the older one has inconel or stainless on the exhausts.
I'm not suggesting you don't shop around but I've not seen much in a new engine that will compete with what you're looking at here.
