It's a thought, Royce...

I've always been intrigued by the '59-'60 T-Birds that had factory 430 MELs.  You see them pop up from time to time in Hemmings.  The inaugural '59 Daytona 500 runner-up was an MEL T-Bird.  So a square 'bird gets my vote!   

That would be my choice, too or, a '58 Edsel, Corsair, Like I had when I was 18 (1962).

Royce what do you get for one of your special Mel engines, I have a 61 Unibody I need an engine it would be cool for that. Leny Mason

IDK Lenny,  Nobody has ever asked to buy one  lol  I guess if pressed i would say about same as a similar optioned iron head FE..

I do have a friend who is unloading a 510 Mel that i assembled for him and tested at Jay's place..He is unloading some projects he will never get to and the MEL goes too. I can get you in touch if you like.

 61 Unibodys are cool. I am looking for one myself, but one that is 90% done

First post...Royce, it will be interesting to see how your engine does...do you have a Jones cam for it?  Should be close to my build.  Lenny Mason, I do still have the 510 MEL Royce mentioned, I would sell it.  High-end build, lots of custom stuff...Arias pistons, Scat H-beam rods, Isky roller cam, Harlan Sharp rockers, Michael Slover heads, Slover intake adapter plates, Offy tunnel ram,aluminum FE water pump, Offy finned valve covers.  Dyno time only.  Royce good luck on the DYNO!!

Think about what you want for it thanks Leny Mason.
