RE: 352HP engine?

Thanks Lou but if I remember correctly you live somewhere near the R coast. I'm way over to the left in Eastern Washington state. As much as I might think having another true '60 HP 352 engine would be nice, I can't justify the shipping or even a looong road trip. My shelves are full of FE stuff. I almost typed "too" in front of the full but knew that wouldn't be understood here.

It's nice to talk with someone who knows something about where the true big block Ford-Edsel performance heritage began. In '58 the new 332/352/361 series was largely berated by the press as over h'power rated and truly underpowered. Hot Rod even said the previous year's 312 was superior. The Ford engine engineers under the guidance of Don Sullivan went to work in '59 to rectify this. The '60 HP352 was the result and it received a lot of positive ink that was backed up by numerous NASCAR wins and many wins on drag strips over the 348's/389's/361's and 283's! A friend's older brother had purchased a new '60 Impala 348 tri power, 3 speed stick & O.D. He thought it was quick until he went up against a '60 Starliner 352HP/360 3 speed/O.D. He traded the '60 Chevy in on a '61 Ford Sunliner 390HP with tri power = 401 horse. He was much happier with the '61. My friend and I were too. He took us to our first sanctioned drag races in the spring of '63 in that Rangoon red rag-top.
This thread, so far...
