Documented 390 police engine equipped Mercurys
Police engine equipped, or P code, cars have many of the same features as 406/427 cars.
The
390 4V engine, rated at 330 horsepower, had a heavy duty block and crank, higher flow and higher compression heads, solid lifter camshaft, the "shorty" cast headers,
and other high
performance parts.
They came with the HD brakes, suspension, and wheels. They also had the
3/8" fuel line, and re-routed front brake line.
Unlike the 406/427 cars they were available with automatic transmissions, power steering, power brakes, and air conditioning.
