FORD Enchantment

By KULTULZ - 08/17/2003 11:59:58 AM; IP 68.50.36.202

FE is the acronym for FORD-EDSEL

FORD received the 332/352 of the new engine series in 1958

EDSEL only received the 361

MEL is the acronym for MERCURY EDSEL LINCOLN

MERCURY received the 383/430 of the new engine series in 1958

LINCOLN received the 430

EDSEL only received the 410

FT was the designation given to the HD version of the FE (330-330HD-361-391)

This series was a replacement for the 272/292 Y-Block truck engine series and the 302/332 LINCOLN Y-Block truck engine series

Another engine family was introduced in 1958 also;

The 401/477/534 HD gas series which was replaced in the late sisxties by the FT and diesel.

So finally, once and for all....

Lincoln/Mercury (and Edsel) were separate car divisions from FORD during that era and this is how the engine families were distinguished.

This thread, so far...
