I'm trying to add that up.....Konrad with inner & outer Transom plates,Hydraulic steering,Trans, 700hp EFI Blower motor with ALL externals.
Headers & one year warranty.

I wonder how much $ diff there really is ?

Konrad box,trans,drive and steering around 16 to 17k motor with everything 45 to 50k and more than 700 hp high side is 67k low side 61ish that still looks better to me other than maybe the merc has better resale.. maybe.... like i said this is just a Chevy gen6 block nothing special... stock steel Chevy crank and rods..from someone like eickert you get a dart block, Carrillo rods and sonny Bryant crank sounds better to me! also it is not put together by some union worker at gm .. merc does not put the short block together...

From what I understand...MERC RACING hand builds & Dynos every engine.Not Mercruiser

I am a HUGE fan of Konrad by the way...I was looking for a TRS Top Gun to convert when i found mine with Vs

I was curious on pricing for the package tho with everything
