Ok..got the new engine done. 512 hp on the dyno. Now, what engine coupler to run ? I have a 502 Mag (Gen 4 ) and a Bravo 1. There are numerous choices out there. I need a tough one thats gonna last. Just getting everyones opinion. Don..care to chime in with your choice pleeeeeze ? Thanks.

Re: Engine coupler

I'd probably go with one that does not have aluminum splines at 512HP. I'm thinking maybe 861523A11 Not for sure on the flywheel fit.

Have you done anything with the drive or gimbal ring yet? I see IMCO or similar parts in your future. Keep a close eye on gimbal ring to upper steering shaft play.

Re: Engine coupler

After a quick check it does fit the 502. It's possible Merc Racing or IMCO might have a better choice for your application. With any luck you'll get some more opinions.
