Sonny built alot of the big cube stuff for Hawk. Alot of drag racing technology used. Mr. Horsepower is right on with the intake system being way wrong for the application. I've seen and run a few of the Hawk 1000's. 700 inch tunnel ram motors. They were all NHRA Pro Stock technology from the day.

Exactly what I was going to say. Sonny built a boatload of drag race stuff and all quality pieces. But, as many on this board have learned (some of us learned the hard way

) drag racing and marine engines are totally different creatures.

so what is a merc 420? a 454 that has 420hp?

my top end looks beefier compared to the pic. the guy i bought it from said he had it dyno'd & it was putting out around 640hp (if i remember correctly).
