Those Edsel motors do look a lot like the 427. I think that is actually more proof that FE did stand for Ford Edsel. That was the "E" in FE and the "F" was Ford.
Good job on digging up the page.
So to capsulize...
We all worship the motor that was the begining of one of Fords biggest Flops.
Ford couldn't sell Edsels but they sold plenty of Pinto's
Shelby couldn't sell Cobra's but kit car makers can't seem to build them fast enough.
Now Shelby can sell Cobra's made even from a Malted and AC one the Oldest car companies on the planet went bye bye because they couldn't sell what they couldn't sell back in the 60's.
It reads like the beginning to the old sitcom "Soap"
