Motor Trend 9/58

By Barry B - 10/15/2001 1:36:07 PM; IP 134.217.237.30

They did a road test of the 430 Super Marauder. Apparently the option wasn’t immediately available so they installed a Super Marauder engine in a four-door Monterey that was used in a previous test. Hey, what magazine tester would go to that much trouble! They said that the 400 HP Super Marauder engines were exactly the same as the 350 HP 430-inch Merc engines except for the carburetion. Originally it was supposed to have a different cam but it was dropped. According to them all the parts needed to convert to Super were available in kit form from the L/M dealers but the L.A. dealers were a little hazy on the list price. Super Marauder engines were supposed to be available in the Mercury Monterey, Montclair, Commuter, Voyager, Colony Park and Park Lane models. The factory equipped Supers had chrome-plated valve covers and a beefed-up Merc-O-Matic. All in all, the testers really liked it. It put out 195 rear-wheel horsepower at 4400 rpm compared to 173 for the regular 430. Quarter mile times were 16.4 sec. @ 88.7 mph. Note that this air cleaner does not say 400 HP.

This thread, so far...
