I haven´t posted any good pics of the special aluminum air cleaner yet, so here are
some, and some other of the whole engine including the air cleaner at an earlier stage
during the rebuild process. This air cleaner is the Lincoln style one, it is different than the Mercury version of it. There were only somewhere between 50 - 200 tri power
systems for the 430 MEL produced, and most of them were Mercurys, only a handful of
Lincolns were produced as an over the counter power kit, so it is very rare.

I´ve made another short clip of it running on a cold winter day.
The air cleaner is once again not on top of the engine, but can be seen.

Where are you located?
And where did you find that Super Marauder kit? I was looking at getting one myself!

Amazing job, by the way!!

Thank you!
Me and my engine are located in a small country in the middle of Europe, in Austria.
I bought the whole kit a few years ago from ebay. The seller was the
Lincoln-Mercury old parts store.
