    What´s the best replacement for AQ271C (or 570) 5.7 GM engine, ideally stroker?

    Don't like the looks of Raptor engines. They don't list where there located and when you go to there contact info it has something embedded which my virus software doesn't like and blocks it. Michigan Motorz has been a good place to buy from, many on this site have done so. The one you chose...

    Slow Trim Up on 3.0 Mercruiser Alpha 1 Gen 2?

    If motor trim motor is running but the drive comes up slow (your term meaning real slow) then its either the pump or cylinders binding. You said, just got it so look at the trim fluid. The fluid should be clear to slightly yellow. It should be Merc fluid or 10W30 motor oil

    fuse keeps blowing.

    There is a dead short and its probably one of the wires which is chaffed and grounding, but could also be one of the units shorted out. Disconnect everything from the circuit and reconnect only one to see if it blows. Once you find which one, follow the wires

    120V Battery Charger Switch turning on a 12v stereo power circuit

    Been rolling this around in my pea brain and I don't see what you just mentioned having anything to do with the issue. As you said in first post: Now this is the issue. Everything comes ON when charger is turned ON because its feeding the stereo and isolator, but its also back-feeding the...

    vales tapping upon starting after sitting after 1year is it caused by lifter bleed down

    If the lifters don't pump back up after a short period then the lifters may need to be replaced or rebuilt. The reason I asked to check the oil level was to see if it had gone up. It it went up then something leaked into the block.

    VST question for 5.7L TBI....

    Your Frankenstein motor keeps having things show up. In you previous the ECM number came up as a Gi, but being a TBI and VST would mean its not a Gi, because the Gi is MPI The VSY tank had a line which would go from the top of the tank to the flame arrestor. It was positioned there so if the...

    Gen 1 350 mpi 99’ block compatibility

    It would be best to find a 1996 or newer vortec because of where bolt holes are. For the most part only the head changed, but keeping vortec, you don't have to worry about other things

    724 SL freshwater tank. Drain? Or winterize?

    I'm unsure of the layout of where the water tank is and its relationship to the pump. I would run the pump until empty. If pump is above the tank then water left should drain back to tank. That amount of water should not freeze anything unless the hose has a loop which is lower

    I am finding contradicting information on wiring a charger and a inverter to a 3 battery system

    Just realized there were Lithium bats about a month ago on another forum, so I have not looked into which is better. If they last then the cost would be worth it.

    120V Battery Charger Switch turning on a 12v stereo power circuit

    Guess I need to see the wiring and don't think pics will do it You said Its series and not parallel? If it is series (like my above pic) then this is the one in your pic above? The stereo should be wired after a fuse/breaker, having it powered by feed coming from the bat charger would say...
