dumb ??? I think
 
Ok I know this is get me a lot of flak but I figure one of you will give the correct answer.
What the h*ll does FE stand for? Have heard a few answers but none of the I can print.
Thanks to the one who helps me understand.

It stands for Ford Engine. In the 50s, when the first FE came out, the folks at Ford wanted to keep the company separated into two camps, Ford & Thunderbird and Lincoln & Mercury. The big plan fell apart over the years, but the FE was originally designed for the Ford side.
There are other "reasons" floating around, but this one makes the most sense to me.

This one has been debated in various circles and for a long time well before CC existed. And hotly debated here also! My take on it? Ford Engine

But I like what one sage CC member said it stood for:

****ing Expensive.

:LOL:

As many of the disgruntled call them "****ing engine, now what do I do?"

Bob Haver, a retired ford engineer that worked on fords race team told me it stands for 'ford edsel'.
