Yes, They are 2 different animals. The Y block came before the FE. (Ford Edsel)
From Wikipedia: "The Y-block engine is an overhead valve V8 automobile piston engine from Ford Motor Company. It was introduced in 1954 to replace the side-valved Ford Flathead engine and was replaced by the Ford FE engine (on larger cars) and the Ford Windsor engine (on smaller cars) in 1962, and lasted until 1964 in Ford trucks.
Note that Lincoln introduced its own Y-block in 1952. That engine lasted until the 1958 introduction of the MEL." ("Mercury-Edsel-Lincoln")
PS- E, You got that monster tearing up roads yet?!
