352 Engine
I was reading some of the links regarding what years of the 352 engines will fit in a '67 Ford Truck. Is it true that only 352s starting in 65 will fit in a 67? I currently have a 360 that burns a ton of oil, and I'd like to get the original sized engine that came with the vehicle.

i'm not sure exactly where the cutoff is- but the older FE engines have a different bolt pattern for the engine mounts. you can put a newer motor in an older car...but not an older motor in a newer car.
the cutoff is somewhere pre-65.

If that is a 352 in a 62 Ford truck it is a transplant. 352 was not available in a 62 truck. What type of 62 is this motor in truck or car.

I would like to suggest that your engine isn't burning a ton of oil but rather leaking it. Valve covers and intake manifolds combined with the huge amount of air that is blown through there can leak a ton of oil.
Look under the truck at about the rear of the engine to see if it is all wet down there. I believe without seeing your truck that you have the ol blow out & down thang going on.
Bet the truck still runs good, right???

Jowilker: Yes the 360 does run well, and it has had that leak pattern behind the engine on the floor. Also when driving I have a nice cloud of blue smoke following me. If it is just leaking oil, what would you suggest for the fix?

here's the info, cut/pasted from here:
FE INFO
Another change to watch out for is the engine mount bolt holes on pre-1965 “FE” blocks. Blocks before 1965 had two-bolt engine mounts while those from 1965 and later had three-bolt engine mounts. This isn’t a problem if you plan on using a 1965 and later block in a pre-1965 vehicle.
Problems abound when using a pre-1965 block in a post-1965 vehicle because some machining and drilling are required.
this thread has a picture of the old-style mount:
