454/502 MPI MAG crossover?
I've seen them like these:
http://www.cpperformance.com/p-15755...sover-kit.aspx
Who else makes them & are they worth it? I've never had a boat with a crossover & since I sold my Whipples this winter I'm thinking of getting some more power elsewhere along with gaining some relaibility, but not for $1200 for a few HP.
I've already got aluminum heads, Dana exhaust & a cam with a decent lift .598/.610 so I'm just curious as what else to do for fun.
Should I just take the veins off the impeller instead?

i put the same units on my 540's. They really clean the front of the engine up. Gained a little power. Main reason i used them was the factory C-pumps would leak after buzzing them up constantly to 5500 RPM. I thought i paid under $500 for each. I reused my original pulleys.

I think I can add some light here to all of the questions above. First the gentleman with the HP series engine was able to use his original pulley on this unit http://www.keitheickert.com/p-15754-...sover-kit.aspx which is why his kit was less money. The MAG motors have a different bolt pattern than the hub which means they require a unique pulley to accomplish this. And the Gentleman withe EDM part doesn't have a serpentine pulley on his crossover as they don't build one to date.

I use the EMI's, with bypass hose.I just noticed you have the cerpentine belt, that gets a little more pricey.

I'm confident that the boat will still run in the low to mid 80's.

They are pretty though! Although chrome won't get you home it still looks as good on a broken engine as it does on a working one.
