What size is the motor in my Edsel?
Edsel confused everyone with this, and the confusion lives on in parts manuals around the world today. Write this down. in 1958 the large series Edsels (Corsair and Citation) had the E475 engine, which was, actually, 410 cubic inch displacement. The small series Edsels (Ranger and Pacer) had the E400, which was 361 cubic inches. The 475 and 400 signified foot pounds of torque produced (and at 475 the Edsel has more torque than a new Dodge Ram truck with a V-12 turbo diesel engine in it!). This refers to the 1958 model year. The other years, I believe, the engines were actually named for cubic inches, so there is no confusion there.
