In this episode, we dive deep into the mechanical artistry of the MEL (Mercury-Edsel-Lincoln) engine family—specifically the assembly of a 430 cubic inch V8.

The MEL series were generally used in large Ford luxury vehicles and were replaced by the Ford 385-series in 1968 Will Violett is with Assembler Roberto showing and telling the story of what you might be up against putting one of these engine series together Built from 1958 to the late ’60s, the MEL series is one of the most unusual and misunderstood big blocks in Ford history. With its bathtub-style combustion chambers and oddball domed pistons, the 430 MEL offers unique challenges during assembly #FordMEL #430V8 #EngineAssembly #ClassicEngines #LincolnV8 #EdselPower #VintageV8 #FordBigBlock #MercuryEdselLincoln #BarryTsGarage #AskEd #EngineTech #MuscleCarEngines #OldSchoolMechanics #HotRodPower Join this channel to support us and get access to perks:    / @barrytsgarage
