All you need to provide is a 750 cfm carburetor, HEI ignition system, headers with 2 in. diameter by 30 in. long primaries, low-restriction mufflers, and a car with big sticky tires. These 502 HO long block crate engines require electric fuel pumps because the 502 Gen VI blocks have no mechanical fuel pump bosses.

Notes This engine is not designed, nor intended to be used in any marine applications. Designed for pre-1976 street vehicles or any off-road vehicle. Engines installed in vehicles registered and normally operated outside of the United States carry no warranty. Clutch linkage bosses are drilled and tapped, plus includes a provision for a mechanical fuel pump. This engine includes a 6 qt. truck oil pan.
