[Shotimes] OT - Ford BB

[Ron Porter]

In addition to all of the other Ford engines we've tossed out here, weren't
there also some unique Lincoln & Continental engines early on in the '50s &
'60s? I had mentioned a 410 that I thought I remembered, but wasn't there
also a 430 (related to the 410??). What engine family was that, or was it
another unique one?

The 427 and 428s were both in the FE block series of engines.  FE stood for
Ford Edsel, BTW.  As were the venerable 390, 352, 406, 360, and a few
others.
All were done with various crankshaft and bore combinations.  Although the
427 and 428 were very close in displacement, one had a longer stroke(428
IIRC).  The 428CJ had much revised heads from the original 428.

The 429 actually started out life as a 460 that was used to move those big
hulking Lincolns around, and was designed with low emmissions in mind.  The
429 was introduced as a Ford-Mercury engine, and then gave way to the 460
used everywhere, for the longest time in Ford Trucks.
