More 368 Questions
Total YBlock newbie here so please bear with me. I have obtained a 1955 TBird that has a 368 Lincoln motor in it. I have read all the entries in the forum for info on the motor but still need help. Where can I obtain specs and rebuild info as well as listings of any performance parts available for my engine?

The 368 was a strong motor, unfortunately not much aftermarket was developed. 3 and 4 carb 2bbl intakes, 2 4bbls are the most common and show on Epay once in awhile.
Most anyone can grind a cam and internals parts are still available. Lincoln MK11 valve covers look great.
BTW, Im looking for a good 368 to put in a F350 wrecker clone of what I used to work with in 56-8.

Hi 286merc,
I have a running 317 Truck engine that has the ram’s horn exhaust manifolds, truck flywheel, and bell housing, water pump, fan & shroud, pulleys. Etc. If you are looking for some parts for that 56 F350 wrecker clone.

For tech information, a 1957 MERCURY SHOP MANUAL would most likely be your best source.
The bell housing pattern is unique also, as the LINC Y came through with the HYDROMATIC 4/S. MERC offered a stick shift version in 1957 but very few were produced so a bell housing may be difficult to find.
Supposedly, a later 302/332HD truck engine 4V intake will fit the earlier passenger car engine (trying to verify now) as it offers a higher carb pad and the increased size carb mounting flange for 4150/4160.
It is an extremely stout engine and worth building.
