The '''Ford 385 engine family''' is a series of “[[V8_engine#Size,_layout,_and_classification|big block]]" [[overhead valve]] (OHV) [[V8 engine|V8]] engines designed and manufactured by [[Ford Motor Company]]. The family derives its 385 name from the {{convert|3.85|in|adj=on}} [[stroke (engine)|stroke]] of the 460 cubic-inch V8 introduced in 1968.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hobbydb.com/marketplaces/hobbydb/catalog_items/ford-429-super-cobra-jet|title=Ford 429 Super Cobra Jet - Engines - hobbyDB|website=www.hobbydb.com|access-date=2020-01-13}}</ref> A {{cvt|429|CID|L|1}} version was also introduced the same year, with a {{cvt|370|CID|L|1}} variant appearing in 1977.

Produced until 1998, the 385 engines replaced the [[Ford MEL engine|MEL engine]] entirely, along with multiple engines of the medium-block [[Ford FE engine|FE engine]] family. The engines saw use by all three Ford divisions in full-size cars, intermediates, personal luxury cars, pony cars, and muscle cars. In trucks, the engine family succeeded the much larger [[Ford Super Duty engine|Super Duty]] family, and was used in full-size trucks and vans, along with medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks.

Produced in [[Lima, Ohio]] at the [[Lima Engine|Lima engine plant]], the engine family was the final big-block V8 designed and produced by Ford during the 20th century. 
Last used in intermediate cars in 1976, the engines were phased out of all Ford cars after 1978 as its full-size cars underwent [[downsize (automobile)|downsizing]]. Following its shift to truck use, the 385 engines were joined by multiple diesel-powered engines.

In 1997, Ford introduced the overhead-cam [[Ford Modular engine#6.8 L V10|Triton V10]], which replaced the 385 V8 engine family after the 1998 model year; the next overhead-valve big-block V8 produced by Ford is the [[Ford Godzilla engine|7.3&nbsp;L "Godzilla" V8]] introduced for 2020.
