	Ford 335 small block V8 engine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		This engine was built only in Australia, and was intended to give their consumers a five liter alternative to the 351 Cleveland as the Ford "Windsor" series of engines was not commonly available there.
		To replace the 390, Ford took the 400 engine's tall-deck block and de-stroked it, with a shorter throw crankshaft and longer connecting rods, to produce a 351 cubic inch (5.8 L) engine whose components were largely compatible with the 400.
		These engines were built in Cleveland, and the performance reputation of the 351 Cleveland engine was such that the company continued to refer to "351 Cleveland" in marketing for a couple years after the change.

		Introduced in 1958, the Ford 352 (of 351.9 inÂ³ or 5.77 L displacement) was the replacement for the Y-block series.
		The 390 inÂ³ (of 389.6 inÂ³ or 6.4 L true displacement) engine, with a bore of 4.05 in (103 mm) and stroke of 3.78 in (96 mm), was the most common FE engine in later application.

		Ford were the first company to use V8s en masse - instead of going to a six-cylinder engine like its competitors when something larger than a straight-4 was needed, Ford went straight to the V8 with its famous Ford Flathead V8 of 1932.
		Smaller engines, known as small-block V8s, were fitted in the mid-size car ranges and generally displaced between 4.4 litres (270 cubic inches) and 6 litres (360 cubic inches), though some grew as large as 6.6 litres (400 cubic inches).
		There was some attempts to use this engine in racing at Indianapolis and the Australian firm Repco converted this engine to a Formula One by reducing it to 3 litres and fitting a single OHC distribution.

	Ford 385 engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ford 385 engine family was the American Ford Motor Company's final big block V8 engine design, replacing the Ford MEL engine and gradually superseding the Ford FE engine family.
		The FE engines, manufactured in Dearborn, continued in production but saw reduced applications and volume as the 385 engine gradually took over in the Ford line up.
		Besides service in large luxury cars in the 1970s and in trucks throughout its life, the 385 series engine was also popular in motorhomes, marine, and industrial applications.

	Ford Small Blocks - Tech Articles - Classic Trucks Magazine
		Small-block Fords have been produced in displacements ranging from 221 ci to 400 ci, but as you might guess by now, there were a number of different series of these engines.
		However, of all the small-block engines Ford has produced, the most popular and frequently modified are the 302, or the 5.0L, small-blocks.
		Other differences between these similar-looking engines are main bearing diameters (289/302s measure 2.25 inches, 351Ws are 3 inches); slightly larger rod journals (2.1232 inches compared to 2.311 inches), and the the fact that the 351W uses a longer connecting rod (5.956 inches compared to 5.1550 inches for the 289 and 5.0900 inches for the 302).

	V8
		Ford and Chrysler had fewer divisions, and engines tended to be shared across families a lot more.
		As the aluminium block made this engine one of the lightest stock V8s built there was some attempts to use it in racing at Indianapolis.
		The Australian firm Repco converted this engine for Formula One by reducing it to 3 litres and fitting a single overhead camshaft per bank rather than the shared pushrod arrangement.

	Mustangworld: The 2000 Cobra R
		The basis for the Cobra R’s engine is Ford’s Triton 5.4-liter cast-iron modular block and forged-steel crankshaft.
		To install the taller engine, new engine mounts and a lowered crossmember were combined to lower the engine by 12mm inside the body.
		The engineers achieved this by reshaping the intake and exhaust ports, redesigning the intake and exhaust valve heads, and increasing the exhaust valve diameter by 2mm compared with the 4.6-liter engine.

		Further, the Ford's 10.300" deck height is still higher than the chevy tall deck's 10.200" deck height.
		The Ford's lifter valley (above) has oil drainback galleries at the rear so as to direct oil straight to the pan while also diverting it away from the rotating assembly (where oil can rob horsepower).

		Ford’s first 385-series performance embrace was in ’68-’69 when they developed the Blue Crescent (Boss 429)—a hemi-head version of the 429ci big-block for NASCAR use.
		These wedge-head engines were engineered to make mucho torque in Torinos, Mustangs, and Cyclones in ’70-’71.
		The cylinder heads are similar to the 331-series Cleveland engine family, while the block resembles a small-block Ford on steroids.

	Ford MEL engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All MEL engines had wedge shaped combustion chambers formed between a flat head surface and an angle milled block deck, with the piston top determining the compression ratio and combustion chamber shape.
		Unlike the Chevrolet, which had staggered valves and scalloped or M shaped valve covers, the MEL valves were inline with shaft mounted rocker arms like the FE model Ford engines which were introduced at the same time.
		The MEL was similar to the Ford FE, with the same oiling system, bolt patterns, and valve stems, but was even larger.

		The standard engine on all Mustangs in 1971 was the 250 ci six cylinder.
		One downfall was that the 429 was part of the Ford 385 engine series that did not allow for interchanging parts with the phased out 428.
		The 429 engine had difficulty fitting into the engine bay on the Mustang because it was heavier, wider, and larger than previous engines.
