RE:High performance Fords |

I do agree with you Mel about those engines being part of the heritage of the FE. What I was trying to say is that the 352 Y code of '60 should probably be on the list of engines/codes that this site manages. It's not a big deal. I know exactly what a 352HP/360 engine is and so it shouldn't matter to me. And what I mean by first true HP FE is that the 1960 Ford HP option really was the start of FoMoCo's return to high(total)performance. They'd played by the rules and it hurt 'em. They came back in '60 with a package that was done very well. It was a total package not just a large or hotter engine plopped into a standard assembly line passenger car. When you bought a 352HP for a whopping $160 you got a fully integrated package from rear end, suspension, wheels/tire/brakes and drivetrain. They didn't build many of them. They were all built with a DSO of PAO which was the way police cars were built too..when production line time was available. |
