Response to Always a good one!

 
It has been around a while but I am sure many have not seen it.

"This is a 1964 Lincoln Continental engine. Note the unusual air snorkel and the tiny pulley on the power steering pump as well as the separate timing chain cover, stand-off water pump, shaft mounted rockers, oil filter adapter, and block skirt extending below the crankshaft centerline. The fuel pump is mounted inverted, straight up, between the oil fill tube and distributor."



Actually, this engine is from a 58/60 LINC as per it's unique air cleaner (fresh air intake) and belt driven power steering pump.

Just goes to show all of the design variations over the years and between car lines.

Also;

M-E-L Specifications

CID bore stroke CR HP torque

383 4.00 3.656 ('56-'57 Continental)
430 4.300 3.700 10.1:1 320@4600 465@2600 ('58-'65 Continental)
462 4.380 3.830 10.25:1 340@2800 485@2800 ('66-'68 Continental)

The 383 (MERC) had a bore of 4.300" and a stroke of 3.300"

The given specs are for the 368 LINC Y-BLOCK (hence reference to 56/57 Continental I suppose)

The EDSEL 410 (E-475) was also not mentioned.
