Badass MEL Pics

Looking for pics of some sweet MELS for some inspiration! Sorry if theres another thread already.

 

what the hell's a MEL?

 

This

 

Mercury, Edsel, Lincoln. For you Hollywood types....Gibson, Brookes, and Blanc.

 

LOL,,how many times have I heard "what's a MEL". I guess geraheadbill doesn't read this site very often. MEL: Mercury-Edsel-Lincon. A second generation Y-block engine built by Ford. Very similar to the FE: Ford-Edsel engine also made by Ford.

 

Beep I know you got a sweet mill so let's see the pics!

 

Ted Cyr's MEL powered dragster


Couple of Marine 430's

 

Gosh, I'm so glad I didn't say that word !!!! LOL Tom (Tired Old Man)

 

I've got a factory tripower 430. I'll see if I can get some pictures for ya.

 

Man I love these things!

 

Come on theres gotta be more out there!?!

 

----------------------------
Absolutely gorgeous! To my mind, the
3-2bbl 400hp/430 with the factory diecast
air cleaner set-up is one of the most
beautiful and sexy looking 'factory stock'
engines ever produced.

Cool engine! I'll bet that shop cart really
scoots too! The power to weight ratio
of that thing must be unreal!!! LOL!

Me weighing in at 145 pounds, you could say its hard to move.

 

Hey Smarg you got a pic of that thing from the front?

 

Yes Sir.

 

Minor setback...

 

Thirsty?

 

The thing with the crazzy pipes,... Sorry to burst your bubble, but its actually a Lincoln Y-block.

That was in 1958 Hot Rod Annual. I have the Magazine.

 

You know, you're right... my bubble is now burst. But the joke's on you, because my bubble was full of angry hornets!

 

Smarg is that a edlebrock intake?

 

Yes, its an Edlebrock.

Still needs polished out though.

 

You got that thing running yet?

 

Bump!

 

I have one too Smarg just finished polishing her up!! Yours is the only other one I seen!

 

Somebody explain the difference between a Lincoln Y-Block, and a MEL.
