The Ford FE is a big-block V8 engine family that Ford built in two generations for the North American market between 1958 and 1976. Its name comes from Ford-Edsel, and it arrived four years after the short-lived Y-block, which cars and trucks were outgrowing. Ford designed it with room to grow, and it was offered in displacements from 332 to 428 cubic inches, with both top-oiler and side-oiler blocks. A thin-wall casting technique kept an all-iron FE to about 650 pounds, lighter than comparable seven-litre engines from General Motors and Chrysler. Truck versions sold from 1964 through 1978 were called FT, for Ford Truck, and used steel crankshafts. The 406 and 427 competition versions powered the Ford GT40 Mk II to its Le Mans victories in the mid-1960s.
