The reply was initially confusing to me also, but not having the technical knowledge, reason I posted the reply as received which came as noted came from the Ford Research Dept

I do recall when the first ( ? ) Ford OHV V-8 was introduced in 1954, after the last flathead V-8 in 1953, the engine was commonly referred to as a Y block.

Would be interesting if someone could quote a specific source back to Ford indicating the FE definition as Ford Engine. Do not recall the Reply and Thread, but FE had also been mentioned as meaning Ford Edsel

That said, I thought the initial contact , Ford Public Relations/Affairs Dept, was very responsive in handling the request while advising me there would be a delay as the topic needed to be researched.
