Evan,
Your 454 is either 330hp or 365 if it's a mag. The 496 is 375, or 496HO is 425. You wouldn't gain much, maybe around 5 mph or so, not much more than that, plus cost, if you bought a new 496 would be high. For the same amount or less, you'd be better off to rebuild yours...You could build a 600hp motor with good parts that runs reliably for about the same amount of money, or less and have a night and day difference in power. Teague Marine also has a Merlin engine, MSD ignition, Merlin Block, Merlin Heads, and I believe this includes carb.. 575HP for around 10K with a 2 year warranty..What are you looking to get out of the boat? Let us know what you want to run,and we'll price out a list of parts/labor of rebuilding your present motor. Rick

Evan, Rick told me he was going away for a few days. I'm not sure if he is returning today or not.
Here is Rick's number at the marina if you want to try calling him.
