Feel free to introduce yourself. No obligation off course, but a nice way to get known to you a little. It's allways good to know your first name. Jeff or John sounds better than, "hey linc58prm2_1......"

Hello,

My name is Paxton, I live in Montana. I admire MEL engines - their design, aesthetics and potential. This forum has been the only place to find reputable information. I am excited to be a part of the forum.

I have many rat holed MEL parts. One complete '58 Merc 383 that came with FE bell and flywheel and a newly acquired MEL I believe to be a '59 430. I purchased the "430" as an old rebuild that never fired - complete with chrome valve covers, chrome pulleys and a chrome breather / oil fill. Under the valve covers I found adjustable pushrods, so I'm betting on a reground cam, but I have not tore into 'er that far yet.

I will post some pics if the 430 beauty in the engine discussion forum.

Welcome Paxton,
sounds like some interesting stuff you got. Adjustable rocker arms is a good thing to have. Hang out with us and please be patient. Things roll slow here. Answeres to questions may take a few days sometimes but they are definitely there.
Have fun
Best regards
