Would a 368 from a 57 Lincoln fit in a 56 Mercury Montclair that originally had a 312. Would it fit easy or what modifications would have to be done?

Thanks Ted:



The way I read it is that these cars with 312's were wolves in sheep's clothing in that they were scheduled to be 292's and somehow the engines were trimmed in 292 parts (ie) rocker covers and installed before caught. Why they did not change the data tag to a "P" I don't know unless all the power train was 292 equipment. Just a guess.



I have heard of 368's being installed in the 55/56's, have never seen one. Story being told as a real wild ride.



Apparently some 57's were ordered (I do not have any documentation as to fact) with the 361 Edsel engine for Highway Patrol pursuit vehicles. That 305 HP stock engine could catch anything.
