The 1972 Mercury Monterey Police Interceptor was equipped with a 429 V8 producing about 209hp, with a four-barrel carburetor designed to run on regular, low lead or unleaded gasoline and a heavy duty automatic transmission - the only choice for the law enforcement model.
For 1972 there was a shift to lower horsepower as a consequence of new emission standards. After 1974 the 429 engine was discontinued with later models equipped with Lincoln's 460 V8 as the top option.
