Default looking for a good marine engine shop

Well that probably would depend a lot on where you are. Alaska?
Florida? Southern Spain?

The 502 uses a taller block that the conventional chevy big block line
so you will also need intake. I believe the heads are basically the
same but you might have to deal with the exhaust manifolds being
slightly further apart than your existing installation. Probably not
something that can't be handled fairly easily. The rest of the stuff
should bolt on. Make sure you do have a little clearance between your
two 454s because the 502s will take up just a tad more width.
