Abbott of Farnham in Surrey.

Today is 4/30, the final day of our big block of big block content, and we’re turning back the clock to the late 1950s to talk about the 430 MEL engine—the big block that time forgot. The MEL (Mercury Edsel Lincoln) engine family was introduced alongside the smaller FE V8 in 1958 and was, for all intents and purposes, a boat motor—one used to power FoMoCo’s most luxurious land yachts. Even though it was the largest and most powerful engine offered in Detroit at the time (in 400-horsepower Super Marauder trim), the 430ci MEL V8 under the hood of a Continental was burdened with 13 lb. of car for each of its horsepower. The MEL engine’s might was more pronounced in the smaller Ford Thunderbird, and that’s the model that stock car builders Holman and Moody prepped for the freshly-paved banks of Bill France’s new Daytona International Speedway in 1959.
