Never saw that 312 in a Ranchero. Base Ranchero had the 223 cid. Optional engine was the 292 cid instead of the 272 cid. There ware three 312 cid engines available in 1957. Engine code D had the 4 bbl carb. Engine code E had two 4 bbl carbs and engine code F was the NASCAR version with one 4 bbl carb and a McCulloch/Paxton supercharger. You would have to check the VIN for engine code E to see if that Ranchero came from the factory like that.

”Ford's 1957 supercharged 312 is a perfect example, offered throughout the company's varied lineup from Skyliner to Sunliner, Ranchero and Ranch Wagon.“

Oh no John. I’ve got too many now.
A buddy of mine just bought this and sold it before he even made it home with it. Just wondering if any of the Y Block racers had ever seen it.
