RE:352/360 net hp
By Mike McQuesten - 10/11/2001 5:42:49 PM; IP 206.193.0.124
Very interesting approximations Mike. Yes again, he was way off what was common with 428 CJs for times/mph. As for the 352/360 being just ten shy of the legendary 427....I believe it based on times/mph that were being recorded in those days.

The 352/360 '60 Galaxies, normally Starliners, were appraised by a number of sources as a very strong stock runner. I have a couple of articles from 1960 where a 360 hp Ford would run 14s. This was with a full framed 3,900 lb.Ford and a three speed column shift. If I remember, both cars were equipped with 4.11 gearing. Another article I have from '63, a full test was done on a '63 427/425 Galaxie XL. This car had a 3.50 gear and could muster nothing more than low 15s.
As has been indicated before, all of these "magazine tests" have to be taken with a healthy grain of salt. So many variables, i.e., driver, strip conditions and timing equipment and of course the car itself and what state of prep it was in.
My point is that based on some of these old tests, there likely could be an inflated net for the 352 HP and a deflated net for the 427. Typically the 427 made so much torque that the magazine writers/drivers would blow the start going up in smoke.
This thread, so far...
