Hardcore Mercrusier 496 bASE & 496HO complete NEW engine completey rebuilt with FORGED piston and rods
The GM/Mercrusier 496 is a great engine but has some flaws! So here at Hardcore we do things a little differently
and take care of the weak spots in these engines by installing aftermarket Scat 4340 rods with ARP bolts and Wiseco
Pro True forged pistons with Moly rings, Heads get NEW stainless steel valves, Crane Gold rocker upgrade.
we blueprint every engine to our strict
specs for marine applications
Specs
496 Block Thermally cleaned and magged, bored and honed +030 then square decked and mainline checked
Crank magged and checked for straight and micro polished STD/STD
Rods Scat forged Pro I beam 4340
Pistons Wiseco Pro-Tru forged with coated skirts
Rings Wiseco Moly
Timing set Melling roller

This engine is assembled but there are different cam gears and timing covers for cam sensor depending on year manufactured, we have all configurations and can change cam gear and timing cover to suit your application! this is important as the engine will not match your ECU and will not run without correct configuration!
Exchange $8500
No exchange $10,000
