Oh, come on. Pull your head out of the sand. Tough, maybe. Do I
like it, yes. Is it more beautiful than this:

No.

It depends on what you count as a "Ford" engine and "stock" engines.

Mercury/Edsel/Lincolns (MEL) engines came in 383/410/430/462 ci
displacements
Big Block Ford/Edsel (FE) engines came in
332/352/361/390/406/410/427/428 ci displacements
Big Block Ford Truck (FT) engines came in 360/391 ci displacements
(the FT was just a toughened FE - the 391 had the same bore and stroke
as the FE 390)
Big Block SD Truck Engines came in 401/477/534 ci displacements
Big Block 385 series engines came in 370/429/460/514 ci displacements

There are other older Lincoln engines, tractor engines, diesel
engines, V-10 and V-12 engines that also came in over 400 ci versions.
There is an interesting list of Ford engines at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_engines
..

I wondered about that 514 cid V8. The 514 cid 385 series V8 is not
really a stock engine...it is a crate engine you can buy from Ford. I
was not familar with the SD Truck engines, but there is a wikipedia
article on that at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Super_Duty_engine
.. The 462 cid Lincoln engine was last used in 1968, but it was a
"stock" engine.
