So a 496Mag HO with lopo inners(cast crank, pistons, lo rods, etc) with X drive carries a 23K tag and doesn't really move a 25'er that well.
What are my options as I need a drop-in motor/drive alternative that I can get Advantage to drop into one of their hulls? The Raylar kit may up the power but does nothing for base reliability.
I like to go with an EFI setup, I think 500+ HP would get me into the right range.
I could go up to 28K for the total drop-in cost.
What I don't need is a reliablity problem that leaves me swing-in in the wind with no warranty support.
I'm thinking a 540 or 572 EFI would be a good way but?
