Name That Engine

The orientation of the plugs is unique in my experience. Which is why I don't recognize the engine, other than Ford, so I thought I'd post it and ask about its displacement, etc. Thanks for any insights. Vic

Its a FE block. Probably 360 or 390. The Ford FE block probably more different engine sizes than any other Ford engines. They ranged from the 352 to the 428 and some were model exclusive like for Mercury only.
Hope that helped some.

Could it be a MEL (Mercury, Edsel, and Lincoln)?

Didn't they make 332 FEs at first?

Yes, 58/59.

The 361FE Edsel (E-400) was the first FE released for service.

FE: 332/352/360/361(1958 Edsel only)/390/406/410(1966/67 Mercury Parklane only)/427/428.

Trucks: 352 = 1965/67 F100/350 / 360/390 = 1968/76 F100/350 (360 2WD/4WD; 390 2WD only).
