No ideas on the opening/closing times though.

GM Performance Parts gives all those specs in their catalog. I need the open/close numbers so I can plug them into my Desktop Dyno.
Hey, but thanks for the effort!

Just to let you know the 496 is no longer there. The guy went ahead and built it and put it in a jet boat this summer-what a waste. Have you had any luck with a engine otherwise though? What head set up are you looking at? I know from experience that the edelbrock performer rpm package is pretty tough to beat. I know they only use a flat tappet cam, but until the gen vi motor that is what all bbc mercs used. I know for a fact the 540hp/540ft lbs they advertise is correct. We built one to their specs and had it dynoed and it was almost dead on at EVERY rpm-still have dyno sheet somewhere. Don't know what your budget is but that's alot of bang for the buck. Don't forget all this is with a pump gas friendly 9.5 compression

Michael,
Thanks for the effort! I haven`t even seen my boat since Labor Day.............
I`m probably going to use the heads I already have: L29 Vortecs. The guy who used to build engines for Eddie Hill is going to do some work on them to promote flow.

cam for zz502
Maybe you can help me with what cam to put in to a ZZ502/502hp with out any major changes. like pistons. I want to go to a solid lifter and better springs so I can run out the rpm more that 5800. I currently run this on injected alky, at 38Degrees of timing. it is not in a boat, its in a rear engine dragster. I was told by a friend that this was the place to come to get answers on the zz502. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Bill

Alcohol, on this low compression? I thought 13 - 14:1 was where you want to be with Alky?
Anyway, good spec's for a solid roller would be somewhere around 250 at .050" with a high rise single plane - HV/Brodix 2000 or such.
Ok, back to boats.
