`67 352
352
. bore and stroke of 4.00 x 3.50
. engine for the `58 T-Bird
. 4 barrel 300 hp
. compression ratio 10.2:1
. cast iron crankshaft
. forged steel rods, mechanical- lifter camshaft
w/machined combustion chambers or cast
chambers by `59
. by `60 the 352HP was avail. with alum intake
manifold producing aprox. 360 hp
The 352 originaly came out in the 1958 T-Birds,
and was used in various ford and mercury full
sized cars up until `66. It was available in ford
trucks from `65-`67, and was then replaced by
the 360 for `68. The 352 and 360 have the
same crank stroke-3.50. The 360-390 have
a bore of 4.05. The 360 is a lower compression
engine than the 352. The 360 has heavy duty
internal parts, as well as the 390. The 360 and
390 are OG truck engines. The 390 has a stroke
of 3.75. I would personaly choose a 352-390
or 428 for my `65-`72 ford truck. That is
custom installation, when needed ofcourse!
I consider the 352 to be a streeter for 100
rangers and custom cabs, and the 390 for
all around heavy duty engine, from shredding
backwoods to running chaoticaly rampant in the
streets. The 428 is a sweet engine for any pre
`73 ford truck. The 410 and 427's make good
truck engines too.
Some fool said the 360 runs better than a 352!
What a joke! I wil take a 352 over a 360 anyday!
I will take a 390 over a 360 instantly!
Not that a 360 is bad or anything.
I'm die hard 352-390, I love these engines!
I love hi. po. 289's, the 302 boss, all 427's,the
429c.j.,428c.j. and s.c.j.,and all FE engines-352-
428,and 351 boss and the powerhouse 351
cleveland,and the 351m-429 truck engines.
I love ford trucks!

I realize this should go to the FE forum but just remember that prior to 65 the blocks did not have the boses for the pickup motor mounts. If you use an earlier block you will have to do some fabrication on the motor mounts. Also I have heard that some of the early hipo blocks didn't have oil journals for hydralic lifters.
