Re: 352

Ford tried to make a high performance engine back in '58, the first year of the FE 300 horsepower with a single 550 cfm Holley, with no luck at all as the cars were just too heavy and had horrible gear ratios.
The FE has gone on to an impressive high performance record since then and have shown that they have lots of strength. After saying all that, I would not recommend that you spend your money on a 352. I would say that you should pick up a 390 GT engine from a '66 to '70 car snd build that while driving what you have. The early engines had a different cam and the oiling system was not as good and the blocks and heads were made of much better iron alloy from '65 and up( more nickel), these are sometimes referred to as "nodular" engines.
This thread, so far...
