1953? You could always go with the Y block that was available. But then again, if a Ford Y block is bordering on too expensive to build the Lincoln isn't going to be easier as the parts are fewer between.
The big job trucks in 53 were using Yblocks. I think they were Lincolns. I'll check my 53 dealer catalog when I go upstairs to bed and report back.
As promised here is the info from the 1953 dealer full color catalog.
"Cargo King V8, 145 hp (279 cu in) or F750, C750 and B750, 155 hp (317 cu in) for F800, F900 and C800."
They don't call it a Lincoln and it is not called a Yblock either just the Cargo King, the mightiest Ford engine ever built!
It covers light and heavy trucks. I'm away from the manual right now. I'm sure they were talking about the heavy trucks with those engines. The pictures I saw weren"t clear enough to show a decal.
