RE: 352HP vs. 390HP intake |

Yup, you're right on again Dave. In my search for a "correct" '60 HP 352 intake I ended up with a '61 HP 390 intake too. There are obvious external casting differences as you noticed. The '61 intake is the one that's bolted on my '63 427 dressed up to look as close to the original '60 HP352 as possible. There's a few that will notice the cross bolts.
Now as for that '61 carb base being tilted or angled down from rear to front vs. the '60 flat base.....I'm still not buying Kevin's assertion that there was a difference in the leaf spring mounting locations or that there was a difference in the angle of the engine/transmission between the '60 & later Ford full size. I've measured and remeasured and can't find it yet. And I used a '62 Mercury Wagon second leaf added to the original '60 four spring pack to raise the rear of the '60 a little.
Thanks for the great picture of a rare odd factory Ford intake. That's the only one I've seen....so far. |
