Can't wait!! I am addicted to these engine episodes! Reminds me of when I got my first Motor's manual. Waited months to come in the mail. I was 12 years old in 1963 when I got it for our brand new 64 Ford Galaxie XL which we got in Nov of '63. Such an exciting time for me.We ordered the car and waited 2 months for it to be built to order. Kids today don't even know what that means.I wanted the 427 cu in 4 speed option,but the dealer thought my mom wouldn't want 10 mpg!Still have that manual,.All local mechanics used them to work on cars. It was their Bible for repair!Wish I had the car ! Saw one at Hershey with a 427 . Price ? $ 125 K. Years ago.

I drove a 1952 Lincoln Capri to high school in 1965. It was not quick due to its weight, but once it got rolling, it was the smoothest hi-speed car I ever drove. It 1952, the speedometer only went to 110 MPH and I broke three of them... I would love to have another equipped like that one, 2-door hardtop, leather seats, power windows. air-conditioning, and a GM 4-speed Hydo-Matic. Sweet ride...

As a child my mother had a 1954 Lincoln Capri Coupe. They purchased it one year old, they didn't plan to buy it since they had a relatively new '53 Ford convertible. But the opportunity came up and they went and drove it. She said after one block she and my dad looked at each other and realized the Lincoln was not at all like a Ford. It was very quiet, powerful, comfortable and handled well. Plus it had power...well everything. Obviously they bought it. They drove it into the mid-60's when they replaced it with a '64 Continental which was quite a different car, good but she never liked it as much as the '54. As to which I'd take, well the '54 Capri Coupe of course!

Your Premiere was the true Hot Rod Lincoln of the day. Ford had the Daytona speed record in 1957 with a 57 mercury that had a 368 with fuel injection that was pushing close to 400 horse power which back in the 50's was quite the accomplishment. Love the Fords, Lincoln's, Edsel's and Mercury's of the 50's. Total Performance all the way.

Well, once again, you're talking about an engine family that I have some familiarity with. Beginning in December 1975, I began a 2 1/2 year stint of driving a big 66-passenger school bus for Frederick County, VA. Frederick County had this habit of keeping its buses for almost forever, even when they had to change out engines in one multiple times. Anyway, my normal bus was a Wayne-bodied '64 Ford with a 361 V-8 and 5-speed Spicer transmission. But, there were still several '63 Fords on the spare line that all had the 332 V-8 with New Process transmissions. So, I often had to drive one of them when my regular bus needed service. There was quite a difference between driving the 361 and the 332. To start off with the 361, I had to just lightly touch the gas pedal while drawing out the clutch. If I did that with the 332, I would stall it. So, with the 332, I always had to rev up the engine before drawing out the clutch. And, if I were to rev up the 361 while starting up, it would cause the whole bus to shudder like crazy. It always messed me up when having to alternate between my '64 and one of the '63s.

Most folks have forgotten about the 1957 Lincolns...but I owned one, over 50 years ago!...That 368 was, IMO, just OK...The rated 300hp did not really feel that powerful, mainly because the vehicle was so big and heavy...I believe 0-60 times were like 11-12 seconds. But the car was so incredibly comfortable, very posh interior, and I, unlike most people, loved the large fins! Sadly, 1957 was a mediocre year for Lincoln sales, which is why you see very few of these barges on the road, or even at retro-car shows!...And like you said, in 1958, the big Y-block 368 was history.

Very interesting to know more about the Lincoln Y block family. In the 80s I drove a '53 Ford F800 3 axle truck with this Lincoln Y block. It had a 5 x 3 trans and a 2 1/2T military truck bed set up with ramps for hauling small dozers. It was pretty slow and dated even for the 80s but it got the job done around the local area.

Your story Reminds me of the time i went for a ride with My Uncle. i was about 6 years old and my uncle was hauling lumber with a 1953 F800 tandem. It was really muddy, and we were in 1 st gear for 6 miles in the mud with Chains on. The engine was a 332 Lincoln Y. I can remember my Uncle saying the y block had a lot more power than the 337 flat head, He had in his 1950 but it didn't stand up as well on hard pulls.

Hi Jay!: These engine episodes are GREAT! As far as I can remember, the Duesenberg Model J engine had a oil filter housing like that of the Lincoln that mounted to the exhaust side of the engine. They were usually polished aluminum so they kind of stand out in photos of the engines. WYR#1 1956 Lincoln! That is one of those NICE looking 1956 cars! WYR#2 1957 Lincoln! Still looks good like the '56 but with FINS!

@@What.its.like. The biggest reason Lincoln went to new engines in 1958, was the new cars were getting to heavy, and the competition were making their engines bigger. They were still using thick wall castings, the 4.62 bore spacing limited them from increasing the bore. Later the FE engines were cast with thin walls and the 4.62 bore spacing was taken out all the way to 4.23 for the 427.

If you have never driven one I recommend it, they truly handle great not a land yacht and not too stiff just right and confidence inspiring, there’s a reason they placed 1,2 and 3 in the pan American road race ( Mexican road race)

This Lincoln engine family is emblematic of FoMoCo's dithering in the '50's and '60's, which really hurt them. The Y block engines were developed for trucks (with heavy duty skirting for tough duty, necessary for trucks but not so much for cars) but were also used in cars. Neither the Linc or Ford Y block was as good a car engine as the 5 GM OHV's or Chrysler Hemi's and the Ford was troublesome with lube weaknesses. FoMoCo put all their effort into style starting 1949, and IMO leapfrogged GM and Chrysler... but their mechanicals lagged... that might be where "Ford: Fix or repair daily" got its start

On the contrary, the Ford's Y block had the gm and chryslers engines beat in the long haul as the oiling problems were only on the 239 and the 279 and were mostly solved by the 1955 model year and the 368 was a real power house back in the Hot Rod Lincoln's of the day .

Then why is the 368 a forgotten engine, when the Chevy 283, Pontiac 347, Olds 371 J2 are so much better remembered ? Ford didn't make great engines until the 390/427 and the 260/289/351

Forgotten engines? Never even heard of the 371, 347 and the 283, wasn't nothing to brag about. Be mind full the the 430 Super Marauder was the first engine in 1958 to break 400 horsepower barrier, so your point about forgotten engines bares no savy...

@@peterruddick1952 The reason the ford and Lincoln were forgotten was because, Ford Came out with newer and better engines. The GM engines were mediocre, but they built them for 60 years. GM guys had no choice that was the only engine they had. The Ford Y block with the stacked intake ports left alot to be desired but it was never out powered by a Chevy of the same year until Ford replaced it witha a bigger and better engine. When the 283 made 283 hp the 312 made 300 hp.

PCV was the first 'emissions control', and was Federally mandated for either 63 or 64 cars, I can't remember. Prior to this, engines had 'road draft tubes' which with worn rings created a cloud of smoke under the hood of stopped cars, sometimes so bad you'd think they were on fire. They also spit oil onto the roadways; not good for traction. The end of the tube was cut on a slant which created a sight vacuum when the car was driven forward.

You have your Yblock sizes wrong. you had the 239 and 272 and 292 and 312 and 332 and 368. Youre also wrong on the first year of the OHV Yblock, as it was 1954 and not 52.Also the 302 you mentioned is a windsor engine that was 1968 and was not a Yblock. I have noticed the Mil generation has come up with false LITERATURE MADE BY PERSONS OF A LATER TIME. eVEN WIKI HAS SOME FALSE INFO

More false literature. Pertaining to lincoln it is only the 368 CID that was larger in deck height, but Ford and lincoln are the same thing. . As for the Yblock sizes I mentioned that is the only CID sizes for the ford Yblock. There is false literature all over the net and even books of things that just arent true. You take Mondello Olds site, at least 50% of that information is wrong but for some reason it is the most popular site

You’ve been misinformed it’s in literature from 1952 so you’re gonna argue with that too… here is some literature from 1952 from Lincoln. You can read it. The literature is from Lincoln motor car company so you’re saying the car company that built the cars are wrong. The Lincoln Y block was also used in Muntz jet… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Y-block_V8_engine www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Lincoln/1952%20Lincoln/1952%20Lincoln%20Full%20Line%20Brochure/image9.html I’m sorry if you’ve never heard of this engine family but it’s a totally different engine family than the Ford Y block it shares nothing with that engine except the name y block name two totally different families… if you wanna mute me that’s fine you’re entitled to your own opinion but your opinions wrong. www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Lincoln/1955_Lincoln/1955_Lincoln_Brochure/1955%20Lincoln-06.html www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Lincoln/1956_Lincoln/1956_Lincoln_Brochure/1956%20Lincoln-12.html
