The {{cvt|302|cuin|L|1}} version of the Lincoln Y-block was used for heavy-duty truck applications from the 1956 through the 1963 model year. The engine had a bore of {{cvt|3.625|in|mm|1}} and a stroke of {{cvt|3.65625|in|mm|1}}. Power output was {{cvt|196|hp|kW|0}}.{{cite web|url=http://oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/FMC%20Trucks-Vans/1957%20Trucks%20and%20Vans/1957%20Ford%20Trucks%20Brochure/dirindex.html |title=1957 Ford Trucks Brochure |publisher=oldcarbrochures.com |access-date=2012-01-16}} The engine was optional equipment on the Ford T-700 Series and standard equipment on the Ford F-750, C-750, and B-750 Series heavy-duty trucks.

The first-generation Y-block was the {{cvt|317|cuin|L|1}}, which replaced the undersquare {{cvt|337|cuin|L|1}} flathead V8 on all Lincolns in the 1952 model year and was produced through 1954.{{cite book|last=Kowalke|first=Ron|title=Standard Catalog of American Cars 1946-1975|year=1997|publisher=Krause publications|isbn=0-87341-521-3|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/standardcatalogo00beve}} The 317 was oversquare, as was rapidly becoming the fashion, with a bore of {{cvt|3.80|in|mm|1}} and a stroke of {{cvt|3.5|in|mm|1}}. Power output with a two-barrel carburetor was {{cvt|160|hp|kW|0}}. Higher compression, larger intake valves, a Holley four-barrel, improved intake and exhaust, and a more aggressive camshaft, the next year increased it all the way to {{cvt|205|hp|kW|0}}. The engine was unchanged in 1954 except for the vacuum advance mechanism. These engines used hydraulic valve lifters while Ford truck engines used solid. The stock Lincoln 317 powered the "Mexican Road Race Lincolns". The 317 was replaced by the 341 for automobile applications in the 1955 model year. Like the 279, the 317 was also used in heavy-duty truck applications for the 1952-55 model years .

Lincolns powered by the 317 won the top four spots in the Stock Car category of the Pan American Road Race in both 1952 and 1953. In 1954 Lincolns took first and second place.

The {{cvt|332|cuin|L|1}} version of the Lincoln Y-block was used for heavy-duty truck applications from the 1956 through the 1963 model year. The engine had a bore of {{cvt|3.80|in|mm|1}} and a stroke of {{cvt|3.65625|in|mm|1}} and produced {{cvt|212|hp|kW|0}}. The engine was standard equipment on the Ford F-800, F-900, T-750, T-800, C-800, and C-900 Series heavy-duty trucks.

The {{cvt|317|cuin|L|1}} automobile engine was bored out in 1955 to {{cvt|3.94|in|mm|1}}, displacing {{cvt|341|cuin|L|1}}. Power was up to {{cvt|225|hp|kW|0}} and torque {{cvt|450|Nm|lbft|0}}. in its sole year of production.

In the 1956 model year the 341's bore was increased to {{cvt|4|in|mm|1}} and stroke to {{cvt|3.65625|in|mm|1}} to create a {{cvt|368|cuin|L|1}} engine that produced {{cvt|285|hp|kW|0}} and {{cvt|545|Nm|lbft|0}}. In 1957 horsepower increased to {{cvt|300|hp|kW|0}} with {{cvt|563|Nm|lbft|0}} of torque but the Lincoln still lagged in horsepower and torque behind the Chrysler Hemi 392 used on the Imperial, Chrysler New Yorker, and 300C, and in horsepower behind the 3-2bbl version of the Cadillac 365 used on the Eldorado. The 368 was standard equipment on all Lincolns in the 1956 and 1957 model years, and standard on the Mercury Turnpike Cruiser and Colony Park and optional on the Mercury Montclair, Monterey, Voyager, and Commuter in 1957, its final year.{{clarify|date=September 2017|reason=final year of which?
