In addition to production casting codes, Ford also made use of "SK" and "XE" numbers if the parts were one-offs or developmental designs not approved for production. Also, the FE was used to power irrigation pumps, generators and other machinery where long-running, low-rpm, reliable service was required.įord regularly made updates to the design of the FE which appear as engineering codes or variations in casting numbers of parts. In addition to its use in Ford and Mercury branded vehicles, the FE was also sold to third parties for use in their own products such as buses, and boats. Some of the models in which the FE was installed:įord Fairlane Thunderbolt, and F-Series trucks though typically only those 1 ton and lesser in capacity.
FE GAMEPEDIA FULL
In Ford vehicles, the FE primarily powered full and midsize cars and trucks.
Aftermarket support has continued, with replacement parts as well as many newly engineered and improved components. Ford produced the engine from 1958 and ceased production in 1976. The FE series engines were used in cars, trucks, buses, and boats, as well as for industrial pumps and other equipment. "FE" derives from 'Ford-Edsel.' Versions of the FE line designed for use in medium and heavy trucks and school buses from 1964 through 1978 were known as " FT," for 'Ford-Truck,' and differed primarily by having steel (instead of nodular iron) crankshafts, larger crank snouts, smaller ports and valves, different distributor shafts, different water pumps and a greater use of iron for its parts.įront mounts for installing the FE in boats showing the level of aftermarket support for the use of the relatively light FE in marine applications It was designed with room to be significantly expanded, and manufactured both as a top-oiler and side-oiler, and in displacements between 332 cu in (5.4 L) and 428 cu in (7.0 L). The FE was introduced to replace the short-lived (in the USA) Ford Y-block engine, which American cars and trucks were outgrowing. The Ford FE engine is a Ford V8 engine used in vehicles sold in the North American market between 19.
