You're right Marty, there's no need for dual fours. All you need to do to pep that '52 up is this:
An aluminum intake such as the Edelbrock Performer will do nicely along with their 600 C.F.M. carb. You might want to consider the Performer RPM but I'm assuming here that your '64 352-4V is backed by a cruisomatic and something like 3.00 ring & pinion.
As for a cam, keep it mild but you definitely need more than that '64 352 had stock. I don't think the '64 352-4V was rated at 300 horses. The '58-'60 standard performance 352-4V was rated @ 300 horses and that was an over rating. l'm going from a foggy memory here but I think your 352 was rated at 250 horse....maybe. But back to that camshaft. I'd again recommend something like Edelbrocks Performer cam and kit. There are lots of other cams similar to this. But it's important to run a mild cam to get that '64 Galaxie up and moving. Your Ford is approaching two tons if not a little over it. Wait a minute, you didn't even tell us if it was a full size Ford/Merc you're running this '64 352 in?
So lets see, an aluminum intake/600 carb, mild cam, and now how about some headers? Try Charles Crites at Crites Reproductions. They make a set designed just for your application. Follow those headers up with a nice 2 1/2" exhaust system.
Convert your single point distributor to a Pertronix electronic conversion along with their coil and plug wiring.
Change the gears out back to 3.50s and you're ready to go!
It's sure fun to spend other people's money. |
