You may be right, but I think it's a small block.

By Dave Shoe - 11/05/2001 1:51:35 AM; IP 216.243.158.51

The small boreline center is my main qualifier. Cube capacity is another. Lastly, that it's introduction seemed to be part of the 1-2 plan at Ford to replace the 221-351W (small) and FE (big) wedge-head engine families with more modern canted-valve replacements. Don't forget, the horsepower war was in full-swing when the 335 (small) and 385 (big) series engines were being developed, and canted valves offered an economical compromise between the hemi and the wedge. I don't think the planners at Ford would have foreseen production of the 302/351W continuing as long as it did, but the old wedge-heads held up well against the newer technology canted-valve heads.

Besides, if Chevy can have a 400CID smallblock and a 396CID big block, than so can Ford.

JMO,
Shoe.
