| RE: need info on a 76' 360 |

Ford stopped listing horsepower for the FE truck engines around 1972, and compression was no longer listed about 1973 or so.
The 360 is always a couple tenths lower in compression than the 390 truck, and 390 truck engines started out around 8.5:1 (foggy memory) (360 around 7.8:1?) in 1968 and bumped their way down in compression as the years passed. I suspect the 360 ended up around 7.4:1 in 1973-76 and the 390 ended up around 7.8:1 the same time. The cam never changed on the 360/390 truck engines their entire run from 1968-76.
I posted some stuff on this in an FE forum maybe a half year back when I first learned the details, but can't remember this stuff very well and can't quite remember where I posted it. If I remember where they are, I'll post a link.
