RE: '58 fe - hp?

By Mel Clark - 10/09/2001 7:09:46 PM; IP 64.12.104.174

Mike;
I certainly don't want to mislead snyone on the issue of a High performance 352 in 1958. A friend of mine bought one when they first came out with the reputed Hi-Perf option in '58. I was street racing a '54 Ford Customline with a 292 P.I engine with 3 2Bbls. and I would strap about 20 car lengths on him in our marked 1/4 mile. I kept that car through 1960 and had a 365cid Lincoln engine bored to 390 cid almost finished when I woke up in 1959 and realized that the Tri Power Pontiacs were killing everybody. I bought a '59 Catalina 345hp with a 4 speed option and it was an instant winner. I half heartedly tried to finish my '54 Ford but had really lost interest, just too many more things to buy to make it competitive with the Pontiacs and the Chevys. 4 speed to buy and adapt to a Lincoln engine, no Carburetion available,no Headers and the list just kept getting longer. I sold the car when it was about 90% streetable and never looked back. I lost a bunch.
As for the 350 horse 352 engine, it may have only been available in the '58 - '59 T-Birds as I saw a NASCAR clone from Klassix Museum in Daytona that had those figures on it and it was supposed to be a close copy of the race car prepped by Holman Moody, I have some pics that I will post when I find them or I can email them to you. Ford made the 430 Lincoln engine an option in the T-Birds and that was the race car in '59 and '60. I never saw what I would believe to be a 350 HP Ford in '58 and back then all the dealers lied like crazy.

This thread, so far...
