According to George Reid(author of many Ford related rebuild and parts interchange books)it stands for Ford Engine.There was a MEL series big block also,it stood for Mecury-Edsel-Lincoln,and FT series-Ford Truck.Is this the definitive answer? I do not know ,but Ron's explaination above makes sense as to the origin of the controversial moniker. chuck
