How about all "us old guys" that "have been there and done that" settle it once and for all.

This is what I truly believe to be correct.
"Ford Engine" makes no sence. How would that help ID a series?? There all Ford engines.. I-4, I-6, y-block, windsor, clevland, 385. there all Ford engines, and all engineered by Ford...
again from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_FE_engine
"The Ford FE engine was a Ford V8 engine used in vehicles sold in the North American market between 1958 and 1976. A related engine, the Ford FT engine, was used in medium and heavy trucks from 1964 through 1978. The FE filled the need for a medium-displacement engine created by the discontinuation of the Lincoln Y-block V8 engine. The FE joined Ford's other V8s which included a small Y-block and the big block MEL engines.
"FE" is an acronym for 'Ford-Edsel'. The later versions used in trucks were known as "FT", an acronym for 'Ford-Truck'. Another engine family, the MEL, stood for "Mercury-Edsel-Lincoln".
