What a powerful month that's coming to an end with the hp rating of the Chevy 427 L88 rated at 430hp.

However, Ford had one more dog in this fight thanks to the 430 MEL (Mercury Edsel Lincoln), that had 400hp, and was the premiere engine in the 1958 Mercury Super Marauder. "It's torque rating of 510 ft lbs is still a phenomenal number"....(circa curbsideclassic.com).

Hope y'all had a great MUSCLE MOTOR MONTH, and to those fortunate enough to race those monsters of the strip(s), count your blessings and I hope you enjoyed the annual tribute to the mills within the fender walls of your quarter-mile toys!
