And Ford also has a "MEL" engine.
Mercury Edsel Lincoln engine.
Those that want the E to mean "engine" or "engineering" instead of Edsel
makes me wonder what their motivation is.
Alvin in AZ (360FE and a Warner T-18)
ps- the T stands for "thunderbolt!" ;) (especially when it's in grandma;)
pps- the medium and heavy duty FT (Ford Truck) is based on the FE block.

The Ford FE engine was a Ford V8 engine used in vehicles sold in the North American market between 1958 and 1976. A related engine, the Ford FT engine, was used in medium and heavy trucks from 1964 through 1978. The FE filled the need for a medium-displacement engine created by the discontinuation of the Lincoln Y-block V8 engine. The FE joined Ford's other V8s which included a small Y-block and the big block MEL engines.
"FE" is an acronym for 'Ford-Edsel'. The later versions used in trucks were known as "FT", an acronym for 'Ford-Truck'. Another engine family, the MEL, stood for "Mercury-Edsel-Lincoln".
