400c.i.d. FE?
I have recently been given a 59 Edsel Bermuda. When I looked under the hood there was what looked to be an FE. It had white valve covers with 400 stamped in them. I know very little about Edsels and was hoping someone could offer some info. Thanks.

Edsels came with one motor only and it was a 361. 4.05" bore and 3.50" stroke 9.6 to 1 compression in 1959 and 10.5 to 1 in 1958. Both motors were rated at 303 hp @ 4600 and 400 ft/lbs of torque at 2800. So I would suspect Rusty is right.

On another slightly off-topic note, I wish we could find replacement pistons for those. Then all these guys with pickup truck 360's might be able to do something with them.
On edit: Didn't they come with a 332 also?

Sounds like you two are the bookends for the encyclopedia Britannica automotive version.
For you younger guys, and encyclopedia is what us old guys used before the internet came along.
