The Fountain WorldWide boat did very well running the Ilmors in P1 for 2-3 yrs. I belive they won the World Championship 2 yrs running.

Ive spent a year now with an Ilmor 710. This is first class power.
Ive had big blocks and small blocks my whole life (like everyone else) and Im very happy with this mill.
Its a different beast than a BBC, much smoother- really. You really notice this at part throttle cruising while climbing up an down long period 4-5 footers, the V8 vibration and chugging just isnt there.
Sounds in between a nasty BBC and Lambo. Nothing like the auto.
My 5350 LB rig goes 90 with it and gets between 2.2 and 2.5 MPG on long ocean runs (300 miles). It can get even better mileage on a lake.
Idles like a kitten, screams like a 2 stroke banshee.
(well a 505 cubic inch v10 banshee anyway)
I would not hesitate one second to buy from Ilmor again after my experience.
I would also say Im a Mercury fan and always will be, they've done right by me, if they offered a non supercharged 700+ HP engine I would have likely bought it.
Got my GF "cleaning my pipes" in the pict.
