Yes, I spoke with a guy recently that thought he had a 312 years ago, because of the Bird on the fender & the 4 Bbl carb it had. This was a Canadian built car... However, a buddy of mine had a 56 Victoria, c/w the Red Bird markers on the fenders in the early 60s & when the motor was pulled it was a 292"  It came with a 4 Bbl & dual exhaust..

Talking about a crown with a 223, a friend of mine has a 56 scrub convertible, 6 cyl, three on the tree with absolutely no power assists

Yeah, I get that all the time. Funny, I think 56 Thunderbirds had 292's also... The real rare one would be a Fairlane model with a 272 which I believe used the Y8 emblem like the 55.

I never saw any Fairlane model when I was growing up that didn't have the bird. How would it be to find a glass top 56 Crown Victoria with a "A" letter and a 223" 6.

Well, after driving 280 miles to look at another 312 Fairlane, it turns into a M code, but the seller swears those thunderbirds on the fender makes the engine a 312.  LOL  Joe-JDC

Thank you.  I did not want to assume that the code crossed over from Thunderbirds to Fairlanes.  Will be checking out a possible 312 Fairlane tomorrow, and trying to get my facts all in order, to verify.  Joe-JDC

M is a 292, P is a 312, U is a 272, and A is a 223 6 cyl
