Vehicle Description
This is a real code 138 Super Sport. The real treat lies under the
hood- a genuine Merlin 509 big block! It was dyno tuned at 580
horsepower and 598 lbs of torque! Mated to a 4-speed and 3.73 posi,
there is some real fun to be had. Up front it has been upgraded to
disc brakes, suspension is rebuilt. In back it is upgraded with
boxed control arms and air bags in the springs. There is also a
nice custom Flowmaster exhaust, H.D. scattershield and high torque
stater. A few upgrades under the hood includes external oil filter
and cooler and serpentine pully system. Looking at the car it is
slick. Body is straight and reflects like a mirror. Most chrome and
trim is new. Weatherstrips and windshield are replaced. Upgraded
cowl hood. Nice meaty set of new radial redline tires and 15x8
rally wheels. Inside is restored nicely. Upgraded Sport Comp gauges
and monster tach. Solid trunk and floors.
Here are the motor specs:
World Products starts out with one of their 4-bolt-main Merlin III
cast iron blocks, which is teamed up with a 4340 forged-steel
crankshaft (4.00 in. stroke), 9.5:1 forged-aluminum pistons (4.500
in. bore) with performance rings, and 4340 forged-steel H-beam
connecting rods. World uses their Merlin rectangular-port cast iron
heads, equipped with Manley stainless steel valves. The heads are
topped off with a Merlin 360 degree, single-plane aluminum intake
manifold and a Hardcore-modified 870 cfm Holley 4-barrel. Valve
gear includes a performance grind hydraulic cam and matching
lifters, aluminum roller rockers, 4130 pushrods, and a true roller
timing set. The ignition setup includes an upgraded HEI
distributor, 8mm plug wires, and Accel spark plugs. The rotating
assembly is internally balanced and fitted with a Hardcore
CNC-machined harmonic balancer. The engines are assembled with
Clevite H-series bearings and other quality performance components
from Fel-Pro, ARP, and Manley. These engines come with Merlin
chrome valve covers, a Speed-Pro oil pump, and a Milodon
stamped-steel oil pan. Each engine is individually dyno-tested and
certified to meet the advertised power output.
