#25 — 1967 X-Code "Marauder 390P V-8" — You've (probably) never heard of it

Hello and welcome to the “Yours in old FoMoCo iron” YouTube channel! My name is Adrian Clements, and today in video #25 we're going to learn about FoMoCo's 1967 X-code "Marauder 390P V-8" engine. Chances are you have never heard of this engine, because it was introduced by Mercury about midway through the 1967 fashion year, and fewer than 3,000 of these "special parts" were produced.
We will see articles from trade magazines and newspapers on the "Marauder 390P", excerpts from FoMoCo literature of the time, and finally photos of 1967 Mercury with this engine from each of the three assembly plants that produced them. have installed.
