Ilmor MV8 570 Anybody have experience with these?

I've read some boat articles about this bitchen LS based small block motor and would like to know if anybody out here has one in their boat. Seems like there are a lot of pros vs a typical big block engine.

Call Teague. They used to sell them, so they might have done data

They are good engines. They are small blocks though. I talked to Teague and he said they run good but don't have the low end a big block does. They sell 2 different models. A dressed up "bling" model, and a basic model. Performance numbers are the same it's a cosmetic upgrade. Teague uses their platinum drive or an imco SCX. I inquired about replacing my 496HO in my Howard Bullet with one of these and no one I called seemed really confident that it would be a huge success. It makes great power, and is substantially lighter than a similar big block with equivalent power ratings. I would like to try it with a platinum drive.

Great engine for sure.

565 ft lbs at 4400rpm. Compared to Merc 520/540 making the same torque at 3400-3600. The 565 being a little more ci makes 610 at 3600rpm.

Weight is 1k with drive vs Big Block 1200 lbs with drive.

Can also be paired with a factory XR.

This setup would also be nice.
