    best place to get reman 5.7 mercruiser

    The heads alone give between 30-40 more HP than the 12-bolt non-vortec motors because the ports are higher allowing so much more airflow to the motor The roller cam can be more aggressive to give you a whole lot more power. However the cam installed in your motor is extremely mild Stepping...

    best place to get reman 5.7 mercruiser

    The heads make it vortec. If you are going reman, I would go vortec heads, 4-barrel, and stroked crank. 320hp-330hp. With a decent cam, and a good intake, 380-420hp The flat tappet 2-barrel was 215 HP or so

    Terribly stoopid question
