RE: what does FE stand for?

By Brien - 08/14/2003 11:07:04 AM; IP 202.44.112.13

I prefer the story that FE stands for Ford-Edsel because when it was designed for the 1958 cars it was meant for the Ford (332-352) and the new Edsel (361). This would go along with MEL standing for Mercury-Edsel-Lincoln as this engine was originaly designed for these cars. For those of you who are trivia buffs I will ask what was the only FORD (not a Lincoln, Mercury or Edsel) that the MEL engine was installed in?

This thread, so far...
