I currently have 510 cu.in tall block motors in the boat they make 520 or so H.P. I just pulled the motors out and am thinking of stoking them. Unfortunatly I have TRS drives so I don't want to destroy them everytime I take it out with killer power. I was thinking either going to 540's or 572 cu.in. I don't want high compression only 8.5 to 1, so I thought stroking them would be my best bet.
540cu.in. what kind of h.p.?
572cu.in. what kind of h.p.?
and what cam would you go with.
What's your input
Thanks
Mark

I did the 540's aspirated on my cafe, with #3's. With 9.5 compression and cast merlin's, dyno at 603hp@5400 on 93 octane. With both tanks at 1/4, gps was 74mph. I have a friend who has a top gun with aspirated 572's. He's in the low 70's.
