    Buying a automotive engine to replace my mercruiser, need opinions

    454 and 502 is same size block, only difference on the outside is where the holes for brackets might be. Use all the stuff from your 454 on the 502 (starter, ALT, etc). You do want brass or stainless core plugs even with fresh water, otherwise they will rust out. Also use a marine circulating...

    Beeping

    With it happening as speed increases I would think its the Temp switch. As speed increases, temp also increases slightly and may be just enough to make it happen. Disconnect the switch (not the gauge) and see if it stops Don't think its the oil pressure because of an increase in pressure...

    Beeping

    Thanks I'm not finding a soft alarm (2 beeps a minute) on your motor. Is the beep like 2 a minute, or is it erratic and not a steady beeps?

    Manta shows they started in 1981 and incorporated in NC. Annual revenue of $10M a year. Shows A+ with BBB but there are no reviews. Don't think I would worry about buying from them https://www.manta.com/c/mmz9hd4/wnc-marine-sales-inc

    5.0GL - No Power at Coil

    That's a clamp which holds the dizzy but is not put of. Should be able to move once loosened.

    5.0GL - No Power at Coil

    The cap doesn't look bad to me, but looks can be deceiving. Cap and rotor would be a good thing

    5.0GL - No Power at Coil

    Use a white grease pencil or bad of white paint on the notch. Adjust timing light for 8BTDC and let it line up with the pointer. With that kind of rust you must be in salt water

    Ford 302 issues

    Very bad to turn the motor over using the crank bolt. It can snap Sounds like your lifters are collapsing, and if that's what's happening they need to be rebuilt or replaced. Probably replaced

    5.0GL - No Power at Coil

    I thought of that early on Kenny but since it was a GL figured it had to be electronic, and he found 8V at the 10 pin. Also looked up the serial number 4110185712 and it shows electronic What is weird is he shows a EST dizzy cap and that won't fit

    5.0GL - No Power at Coil

    Take a piece of sand paper to it. Then bump the starter as brief as possible to see if something comes up

    5.0GL - No Power at Coil

    Kenny is the guy that knows VP For having just a notch you need to look at the balancer for a larger mark followed by some smaller ones. Having an advance timing light, need to set the light for 8 BTDC (assuming that is correct timing for the motor). With motor running the point in your pic...
