Mercruiser 7.4 intake manifold swap?

[NateZ]

I'v got two mercruiser 7.4L motors in my boat. The intake manifolds are looking pretty rough on the outside. I also happen to have two GM 6269318 aluminum intake manifolds (with marine waterjackets, rectangular ports) never been used. It is a 454 / 502 part. Would these high rise aluminum intakes bolt on with no other modification/tuning to the motor?

Yes. Merc 7.4 and Chevy 454 parts are interchangable. Running in salt on a raw water cooled engine might not be too good for the intake though. Longevity would be an issue.

Ok wanted to make sure the stock height Vs. the high rise aluminum ones wouldn't change anything.
