The Cyclone engines were 370/400/440/460HP versions. They all got the same 737-5536T piston, except for the 460HP version.
Alot of these questions can be answered, by looking at the parts diagrams and drawings on mercruiserparts.com

Most guys assume a merc rect port head is the same from a 454 mag, to a 800sc, but they were assembled with different components per application.

Could be indeed ! Don't have 420's (I still reference them to the mini hp500's ) rolling through these parts much .do know for shure the 502 versions get a little xtra dome on the hp500 . And roller rockers on the 420hp

i believe the compression ratio on the 415 hp mpi engine and the hp500 are both 8.75/1.
