RE: '59 Block.. |

That's really interesting news about the '59 block Travis. It's very interesting to me because I have the original engine that came out of my '60 Galaxie 352HP. It's a B9AE+numbers casting. It was cast in February, 1960, and installed in my Sunliner on 4/25/60. I've got a couple of '60 parts donors/future projects for somebody. They are 352-4V & 2V and they are COAE blocks. They are definitely not Hi Pers.
I've never been able to confirm why the HP blocks were B9AE. Someone told me on this forum that that was one of the first things to check for if you wanted to document that your '60 352 was a genuine original HP.
I'm not saying your information on the tough '59 block confirms anything for me but it does lead me to believe there may have been reasons the B9AE was selected to make 360 horsepower from 352. Thanks for the great information. Good luck Paul in turning that '59 352 into a 390. |
