Depends on what engine. but, most are the same as regular production automotive. Gaskets,cam and timing sets are usually the only internal differences marine/auto.

It depends on which engine it comes from.
Most Mercrusier engines use only the best GM components. Forged crank rods and pistons. 4 bolt blocks and good flowing heads. but when you get into late model 454 496 etc engines. they used some peanut heads and poor pistons. if it was a higher HP version of the engine, it has the best stuff. If it was a lower HP version then they were run of the mill components.
