The Merc Is Up & Running.

Greaser Alley

The day has finally arrived; the Merc will fire on its own and stay running! I had a chance to drop through the gears, and to my delight, the transmission works wonderfully. The brakes are still harsh, so I need to bleed them again. We have the wiring to finish up and, last but not least, the damn bodywork! It’s been crazy in the garage as there are so many damn projects we are working on that I sometimes don’t touch my car for a few days. With the warm weather coming around, it puts the excitement back into getting … Continue reading The Merc Is Up & Running.

Here at Bessel Motorsports we have taken that idea a step further, by actually creating a system that works by machining a register into the main saddle of your block and then producing our own high-quality Billet main caps to work in tandem with the machining process. When you start creating horsepower in your blocks regardless if they are a 2 bolt or 4 bolt block’s … Continue reading Bessel Blocks
