The Mercury Y-Block was 256 cu in (4,194 cc) and produced 161 bhp (120 kW), [3] again a similar displacement to the 255 cu in (4.2 L) Mercury Flathead V8 it replaced, but with 29% more power than the older engine's 125 bhp (93 kW). [4] The original Lincoln V8 was also known as a Y-Block. Lincoln introduced their engine in 1952, but it was a ...
The first-generation Y-block was the 317 cu in (5.2 L), which replaced the undersquare 337 cu in (5.5 L) flathead V8 on all Lincolns in the 1952 model year and was produced through 1954. [2] The 317 was oversquare, as was rapidly becoming the fashion, with a bore of 3.80 in (96.5 mm) and a stroke of 3.5 in (88.9 mm).
The 1954 F-100 was the last year for the flathead engine in the U.S. Models in Canada, including the Mercury M-Series, continued to use the flathead. 1954–55 saw the introduction of the new 239 CID overhead valve Y-block V8, dubbed "Power King."
For this inline-4 engine, 1-3-4-2 could be a valid firing order. The firing order of an internal combustion engine is the sequence of ignition for the cylinders. In a spark ignition (e.g. gasoline/petrol) engine, the firing order corresponds to the order in which the spark plugs are operated. In a diesel engine, the firing order corresponds to ...
The Ford MEL is a big-block 90° V8 engine family produced in various configurations by the Ford Motor Company between 1958 and 1967 in displacements from 383–462 cubic inches (6.3–7.6 L), and used in Ford, Edsel, Mercury, and Lincoln vehicles.
During the 1990s, the Ford V8 that was used in these trucks was decommissioned and removed for more economical Renault engines to be retrofitted. Thus the Ford V8 engines were sold off and thus provided a new source of little-worn engines for the hotrodding community. The block metallurgy, being much later, was also stronger than the originals ...
In order to have engines as smooth as the straight-eights of its competitors, Cadillac introduced the crossplane crankshaft for its V8, and added V12 and V16 engines to the top of its lineup. Ford never adopted the straight-eight; their entry-level Ford cars used flathead V8 engines until the 1950s while their Lincoln luxury cars used V8 from ...
Note: this is commonly called the Ford Small-block V8 pattern, though it is used in some "big block"-sized V8's as well as some V6's and I6's. 200 I6 1978-1983 only, partial (4 of 6 bolts) pattern. 250 I6 (except Australian 250/4.1) 255 V8; 289 V8 - (made after August 3, 1964) - had 6 bolts holding bellhousing to block; 302 Cleveland (Australia)
