454 Merc needs rebuild , Edelbrock rpm intake , large ovalports ( post 1 of 1)
454 Merc out of my boat,blew a headgasket and cooked a piston ,
will throw in the heads if you want them but they are peanut ports, .
Engine was still running and had good/normal oil pressure and water temp before I pulled it out. Extremely clean engine inside and had about 300 hours.
No fuel pump boss so I think its a gen 5 but it does not have a roller cam .
No oil pan,intake,flywheel,balancer or timing cover.. $300 picked up in Lago Vista (30miles NW of Austin)
Edelbrock rpm intake for BBC , painted orange , $100 picked up
large oval ports

thanks but a little late ,
bought a Merc 502 shortblock for on ebay
and just had it gone thru at the machine shop.
Basically ended up with a balanced and fresh 502 shortblock for $2000
Just need to locate some proper heads now.
