This is my first post after just registering. I am working with a 1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser convertible with the 368 inch Y block motor. This is the same as used on the Lincolns. I didn't see any current posts or a search option to look for the info that might be available. Is there a way to search the forum?
I've pulled the engine down and at the least I would like to find a new or good used cam. Mine has pitting on the tips of the lobes and I am not sure that it would be able to repair with a grind job. I think that the rest of the rebuild parts are available.
Any suggestions on suppliers of original parts?
Thanks for any help that you can give. Billk

Flatbill. Welcome to the site. Yes, some Forum members are knowledgeable about the 368 engine. RB [Royce Brechler] is one of those. He just competed in the Engine Masters Competition in the Vintage category. He entered three different FoMoCo engines this year, one last year. Click the link below for a brief write-up on one of Royce's entries.

The information below should help you locate the Search function on here. Do this...
1) locate the band near the top of this web page... [it reads from left to right, Home / Explore / Latest / Popular / and so on]
2) click on the word 'Explore'... a menu of 7 items will drop down under the word Explore... the last word showing may be 'Tags'
3) go to the empty white column on the far right side of the drop-down menu
4) in that seemingly empty white column on the right hand side of the drop-down menu, use your keyboard to attempt to scroll down as if there was a location indicator in that white column
5) as you move the 'invisible' indicator down in the blank white column, the menu will scroll to expose the word 'Search' below the word 'Tag'
6) click on the word 'Search' and the Search Forums menu will be displayed.
You're not the 1st person to have difficulty with locating the Forum Search Function. This is one (1) of the idiosyncrasy that was incorporated by the software developer so that only serious readers can access the treasure trove of information in the archives of this web site. There are other quirks, so don't hesitate to write when something seems frustrating.
Hope this helps.
