Let me go further regarding the 1958/59 EDSEL 361 FE and/or FORD LT 360 FE. Either engine had a different bore size. The 1958 361 (4.0469" BORE X 3.50" STROKE) was a different casting from the 1968-1976 360 (4.052 " BORE X 3.50" STROKE).

The 360 LT (1968-1975) replaced the 352CI used in LT 1965-67. It was simply a 390 block with a 352 crank (4.052" BORE X 3.50" STROKE). Only one block casting was now necessary.

The 361 FE was also available as a one year only FORD POLICE ENGINE OPTION in 1958. It was also used in CAN PRODUCTION (1958-59) in lieu (Fr.) of the 352.
