Just fine...all you need is the special brackets to raise them up and level them off.

Ford offered bucket seats for F Series trucks 1965/72.

Originally in 1965/66, they were part of the Ranger package only (F100/250). The seats and tracks are the same as 1965/70 Mustangs.

Will 1967/70 Cougar seats fit?

Sure...cuz they're the same seats as Mustangs, the only difference is the upholstery pattern.

FE = Ford Edsel

In 1958, FoMoCo introduced three new engines.

Two were installed in Fords: 332 & 352.

One was installed in the Edsel: 361.

The Edsel 361 lasted only one year, it was a slight overbore of the 352.

When was the first time a Cougar had a 6 banger?

Did you say 1983?

That's right. T'was the awful 3.8 V6, called the "miracle" engine by some.

If one could get over 60K miles out a set of head gaskets, or the timing cover didn't go south around the same time, it was a miracle!

The valve cover gaskets leaked from day one...Ford changed the design and the composition several times...didn't help.

Just tired of veterans not commenting on the downgrading of our precious smog slingin, loud roaring, torque monster FE ENGINES.

I love my engine, and would never put a motor in any vehicle I own.
It comes down to not what they are, but more of the definition of the physical function of what a motor/engine does:

I would consider them interchangeable considering both "motor" and "engine" are inclusive in the definition of both words.

Motor: any of various power units that develop energy or impart motion (electrical and internal combustion both fall under this definition)

Engine: a machine for converting any of various forms of energy into mechanical force and motion (again electrical and internal combustion both fall under this definition)

My source: Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

You call it whatever you want, and we will understand what you are talking about. Ironically..."wordage" is not a word, but you used it in your OP to complain about this silly topic.
