Yes, as FORD got serious about racing on the 57 model run.

What size carburetor? By the time my '64 rolled off the line in Kansas City it had been detuned and sported 1.02" venturi 2100.

The 1957 model year offered four choices, 1) the 4000 was retained briefly, 2) HOLLEY 4150, 3) CARTER AFB, 4) and the new FORD 4100 designed by HOLLEY.

The 292 (312 for MERC) began being the STD (base V8) engine after 1957 as FORD went FE and MERC went MEL.

FORD also offered two variations of an 8V and a Supercharger in 1957.
