need new motor

[hava life]

found out today that our 540 is toast :( Anyone have a lead on a new long block . I want to stay at 500hp or a little more :wink:

I got a compete blower motor for sale. zero hours on it. PM me if interested. Is it for that deck boat?

[hava life]

yes its for the conquest boat. I don't want a blower because the back is for a sun deck :) the wife won't let me take that away.

[copperrat20]

The one I have was built for a conquest deck. It's a fuel injected whipple and fits under the hatch with ease.

Do you want a merlin block or OEM block?

how much for the whipple :D I'm not a mechanic so I don't know what the big differenc would be on the different blocks. All I know is my 540 is toast and the only good parts are the carb., ignition, oil pan, and exhaust :(

[cstraub]

So you need heads also? OEM blocks are fine, but the Merlins give plenty of stuff to grow with if you choose.

What happened? There should be a lot more that you can salvage than that :confused:

I bought the boat used. Looks like the motor was sleeved before on a rebuild. The motor had taken on water in the oil and the lifters overheated the cam is shot. The heads could be rebuilt, some parts could be reused but not many.
