In 1959 Ford had a kit for a dealer install of the 430 Mercury Maurauder Tri-Power engine in the smaller Fords for various departments. The kit included the entire driveline and all of the suspension. I was only involved in one that was for a Border Patrol or FBI car.
Back then you could buy almost anything from the manufacturers if you knew the right people to get the order through and had the money.
