I heard Lehman did Model T and

I heard Lehman did Model T and Model A marine. And I heard Lehman did Lincoln Y-block 368 and MEL 430 marine conversions. When did Ford gas engine conversions go from Lehman to Interceptor ? Is Interceptor a Ford in-house or outside company name ?
 
Ford used the Interceptor name

Ford used the Interceptor name for their police
engines. My Interceptor manual shows on the cover:
Eaton Manufacturing Co
Dearborn Marine Engine Division
 
I don't know about the Lehman line up, but Ford made their y blocks available for companies that wanted to make a marine conversion. I have an old Ford advert, I'll see if I can post it.

Dearborn was one company that used the y-block. At some point Dearborn became a part of Eaton, and then Crusader. Both continued to produce the yblock Interceptor.
