I think the links on this post need to be updated or deleted. I get a page with a bunch of pictures of classic "Cougars" if you know what I mean. Definitely not safe for work...

I deleted one of the links. It looks like the account was hacked.

For any of you still having doubts about the MEL check out these sites and Brian Stefina's Super Marauder:

The video is totally cool but so are the underhood pictures.
I am trying to get more detail but from the article it looks like it is a nearly stock 430-6v, my guess is with a cam like the one Merc intended to put in there, some cleaning up of the heads, and that's about it.
Dyno'd 420hp at 5500.
4.56 gear and 3-on-the-tree.
That is a pretty hot old Merc.

Edit - 14.02 at 101.5, hey .02 is 3 feet which is the better part of a fender-length win.

Hope your still on this board WerbyFord, if you still have the video do you mind reposting it?

I cant find the video (not my car) but this is the car.
Says 420hp dyno.

This is the same car, from 2006
14.42 at 99.7

1.8mph slower so coulda been better weather for the 101.5 or some engine work not sure.
