Wish I had the answers for you on this. Maybe George Anderson of Gessford Machine can chime in if he has input...

I don't keep much on the Mercury engines but these are some web sites to review...They don't list a Matauder for 1968 though???

Yeap it is the same thing as the Ford Galaxy 7 Litre engine. Merc stopped using the MEL (Mercury/Edsel/Lincoln) Motors in 1961. After that they used the standard available Ford Motors. No it was not sold lto them just given to them. After all they are the FoMoCo Corporation.
