                I was reading Eickman's Ford Y-Block Book today and discovered that there was a 256 cubic inch, 160 horsepower, 4 barrel, dual exhaust Police Interceptor option available in '54. It was apparently basicly a Merc engine installed in a Ford. Anybody ever actualy seen one? I am just curious how one of these in a light weight Mainline two door sedan would have compared to the Olds and Cads and Chryslers of the day? I know my '53 Ford Flathead V8 could not keep up with the Chevy and Dodge 6's of the day.
