RE: Alternative Power

I know very little about the Lincoln-Mercury 368. The first car I ever actually drove myself was my folk's '57 Merc Montclair with the Turnpike Cruiser power package. The car wasn't a T'pike Cruiser, it was a 4 dr. hardtop with the mighty 368" and push button automatic. I do know these engines are increasingly difficult to find and there was a factory offered, over the counter dual 4V package for the 368. But I've never seen one. Talk about "alternative power". A Lincoln 368 would be the way to go for a mid fifties, earlier Ford/Merc.


Thanks Lou for the interesting conversation. I doubt the youngsters even read this stuff. "PLease tell us about the Mustangs!" Well kids, we liked cars, especially Fords & Mercs "Before Mustangs".

But don't laugh too loud Mustangers. My daily driver is an '06 GT automatic. Three of my sons and I took turns with the 4.6 3Valve last night at the local strip. My 28 yr. old came in first with a 13.67/101.55. I came in 2nd with a 13.80/100.5. The 33 yr. old got a 13.90/99. The other son is just barely 16 and without his license yet. He'll get a chance soon. Only mods to this '06 3V are a Cold Air Induction kit and axle back Flowmasters. It runs on 87 octane and I've gotten 24.6 mpg both city/highway. Close to stock CJ times/mph.
This thread, so far...
