    7.4 mpi doesn’t want to idle?

    Pressure is good Connect a vacuum gauge up to the intake, probably the line that connects to the fuel pressure regulator. Need a scanner to see what the MAP and IAC are seeing. Could measure voltage of the 2 but a scanner would be better

    Trim sensor/limit & speedometer not working after lower unit work

    Look at the rear of the motor and by the trim pump. The trim wires may have been disconnected. They are black with bullet connectors.

    Vortec 350 5.7 Mercruiser Build

    Max rpms is dependent on internals used, and how those are balanced. Your cam list 1000-5000 rpms and I haven't seen where the pistons, rods, crank is anymore then stock. I would set it to 10*BTDC and see how it does. That said, your build may be an expert or just a good builder. See what he...

    If the outlet is a 120VAC outlet then NO AC and DC circuits shall be kept seperated. Only thing that ties grounds anywhere near together is through a galvanic isolator. Run a separate ground cable to a buss bar

    Volvo Penta 3.0 GSP-C Engine Dying and Zero Oil Pressure

    This would say the drive is ventilating or something is on the prop. The motor runs bad and can still reach 4000, just doesn't add up, unless the tach was also messing up. If something was dropped in the tank it should have been stopped by the fuel filter
