They were good engines--lots of power but wasn't developed further because Nascar come out with rule that effectively outlawed them--they were available in T birds and Mercurys with 3 dueces--Edsel at 410 cubes 475 tq called E475---I had one in 59 ford 2 door state dept of agriculture car(about as stripped model as ever manufactured) Didn't have any ford trans until mid 62? when 4 speed became available--
But---are heavy--top fuelers used to split them from cam tunnel to mains--
The combustion chamber in the bore(like 348/409 chev) allowed us to experiment with different shapes in the late 50s(sorta like the factories in the 90s)
Just get the rear end unless you want to build a T bucket!!!!
