RE: The mighty 352

I don't know how you do it blinker but you get me fired up with your wild A#@ questions.

I flat out love the FE and I've got a particularly soft spot for the 352HP - it marked FoMoCo's return to performance in late '59-'60 - truly Total Performance!

And as Shoe indicates a properly built 352 can flat out scream. But to build it properly is a challenge financially and it's not easy to find a builder who knows the FE way.

A very good friend of mine, Jerry Pruitt, Yakima, WA was a national record holder for many years running a "built" 352 in a '64 Galaxie Custom. It met all NHRA rules running in a stock class. He ran mid-low eleven's consistently. More recently, he ran this exact 352 in an '80s Mustang GT. Which BTW, he has that Fox 'stang available for sale.....all ready for an FE bolt in. He is in the middle of restoring Portland, ORs, Bill Ireland's original '61 HP Starliner - not for lawn shows either. He will run it in Factory Appearing Stock Tire drag racing (FAST).

The fact is blinker, and I think you know it, the 350 Chevy is easy to build for reliable high horsepower. It's a cliche to say it....the modern Flathead. But it's had a longer run than the ol'flat-motor. And it has a long future with all the knowledge/parts out there. That's one of numerous reasons I have so little interest in the 350 GM.

"Oooh, look kids....a small block Chevy, isn't that interesting?" Another one of my lame attempts at sarcasm.
This thread, so far...
