Thanks for starting this thread, Gary. This month has lots of torque.

To borrow from my favorite toy store - Big Blocks 'R' Us.

It's Olds 403 day. A few of those being raced.

Thanks, but I also offer an apology for not giving any props to the Mouse Motor Racers😔....especially given our 2020 Stock Eliminator World Champ Jody Lang made 305 a WAY COOL day this year!!!!😀 Besides, horsepower-wise, I have a contribution to March because of my 3.6L 308hp Chevy Colorado!😀

You beat me to it. Go Beach Boys!!!!!!!!!!

My first car was a '64 Biscayne. That was 53 years ago. If I still had it, it would now be a 4 speed 409 car.

Not really a muscle motor but in 1958 Edsel had a 410 cu. in. MEL V-8. Also, Mercury offered a 410 version of the FE engine in 1965. That's all I can think of for today.

Actually, The 410 was available in the 66 and 67 model year Mercs. not 65.
Crazy bout a Mercury !

That engine was introduced to the motoring public the same year I was born, so that's cool. Furthermore, as long as it has a c.i. or hp rating between 401 and 430, it ranks in my book as a contributor to a super strong month. Thanks for the addition of it!
