Dynoed the 465hp 502's for the Velocity 320 and they made 480 hp but a couple cylinders were a little weak on the leak down test so decided to do a head job/rings and new bearings while they are out of the boat. Engines are going back together now and will redyno them and break them in on the dyno for the new owner.
I could have installed them like they were but that's not how I roll, anyway she will be completly rebuilt to make the next owner a very nice ride.

I ordered 20 Auto Meter Monster Gauges yesterday for the Cat project. "Chrome Ultra Lite Pc Marine" from E-gauge. Good people and good prices too. $1250.00 for all 20 gauges with senders. I went with as many machanical gauges that I could. 5" on the speedo's and tachs and 2 5/8" others. These are light silver face with the chrome rims.
2-GPS 140 mph speedos
2-8000 RMP tachs

The 465 hp 502's I bought are in worse shape than I bought them as, The engines arrived and we dynoed them and did a leak down test, both engines had problems on the leak down so I told my engine builder to tear them down and find out what the problem was. Yesterdeay he called and told me both # 7 cylinders in both engines were water intruded and were so bad out of shape he will have to bore the engines and install new 30 over pistons in both engines or they would't last till the water got hot. So now instead of just installing engines, I am looking at two complete rebuilds.
