1957 Ford Thunderbird 312 V8 Engine

The larger D-code 312 cubic-inch V8 was a nice option in '57. It has been cared for just like the rest of this immaculate T-Bird with tidy hoses, big red block, and shiny components. Of course what really gets this motor noticed is the factory dress-up kit with finned valve covers and a chrome air cleaner. Make sure you look at the undercarriage photos to see that this high level of presentation is not just in the engine bay, but also throughout the whole car. But as much as this is a show-stopping T-Bird, it was also meant for cruising with great features like the power steering, two-speed Ford-O-Matic auto transmission, and highway-friendly rear gears.
