I picked up my 502 block from the machine shop after work today...
The heads should be ready next week.
As you can see, I could not wait to get started...
Crank shaft is in, but not torqued down yet.
I'm hoping this baby will make 550lbs of torque and 450hp.
That should be enough to spin the new 28p prop I bought...

Gary,
My plans are to assemble the 502 this month. Then pull my 454 and make the swap next month. If all goes well, I will fire her up last week of April or the first week of May.

Thanks Mike!
The engines in a Gen VI roller though.
I have decided to rebuild it basically stock and retain the fuel injection.
The stock hydraulic roller cam is going back in with a new set of lifters.
The only mods. it will get are some head work and Stainless marine exhaust...
This engine should still make 100HP more than my 454 does...
