RE: '58 fe - hp? By Mike McQuesten - 10/10/2001 11:46:10 PM; IP 63.50.126.229 Very interesting stuff Barry and Mikeb. Thanks for helping me to get over my FE faux pas where I was claiming the '58 FE 4vs to be "Police" Interceptors rather than Interceptor Specials. It's interesting that from your source Barry, Ford did say that the 352 & 361s were Police Interceptor options. So I'm going to get over it now. I have this idea(pipe dream?) to pull that 352 Interceptor Special out of that old wagon out back and go through it. I've kinda started by removing the intake and a few top end items. I'm storing all the stuff in the back...old wagons make perfect parts storage facilities. But in going through it I'd make one little change....the camshaft. I've got the original '60 352HP solid cam w/original lifters. I'd like to see how this one change might work to wake up that Interceptor. And I'd change the orgiginal intake and the ignition and I'd never run those exhaust manifolds and on and on and on..... Interesting comparison Mikeb on the times/mph of the 332 with the 352 - 4V. 332 wasn't that much slower. Thanks again. Good stuff.

This thread, so far...
