RE: It was all about $

Back in the 60's guys, Ford hid a lot of money from their share holders by funneling it through Homan/Moody Stroppe, this Marine program was another of those. In the manufacturing world, your cost is ammortized across your volume of production. I disagree with the marine program interfering with the "Mass Production". As a matter of fact some 30+ years later it is quite evident that a lot more blocks cast as side oilers went in boats than ever went in cars. By spreading these costs across more units and then by saving money by not machining them as SO it must have looked (to the bean coutners) like the side oileer re-tool was free. Face it, at 4000 rpm with a cast crank, the 390 block would have done fine and that extra .23" of bore would not make a differnece with those crappy 352 heads.
