Do I have a 352?
Hi Guys,
I just found a clue!
I've been wondering if, in fact, the 1972 F350 I have has a 352 in it.
The VIN says 360, BUT.........
It's got those yellow valve covers, and a Oil Bath Air Cleaner that says 352 on it.
Then, I remembered the # on the exhaust manifold that the guy had sent me before I got it.
It's C5TE-9431-B
So, I ran a search on here, and "The Man", Number Dummy had responded to someone asking about exhaust manifold numbers.
It's gotta be a '65 or '66 352, right?
Check it out:
I have 6 exhaust manifold's that came with an old core engine and I am not sure which ones fit. The core is a 1965 or 1966 352 FE that I plan to have rebuilt.
Here are the exhaust manifolds that I have. If someone could help me identify all of them and which ones are the correct ones I would appreciate it.

Check the casting date on the block and post it. That would be the answer whether the block is from a 352. The 352 and 360 use the same stroke of 3.50". For the right manifold, the D0TE engineering ID number means a year of 70 +.

The old dude who had it - years ago swapped the engine. Years and years before the young fella I bought it from purchased the farm - where my '72 F350 sat.
There was a couple boxes, etc. of parts - water pump, etc.
There were some large bolts - the kind you would use to lift an engine out - in the floor board.
The partially torn sticker on the Oil Bath Air Breather says 352 - "200 Horsepower" (Think it says 200 - it's torn).
Short Video of the 1st time I started the Truck. Yes, I know the Heater Core is leaking - I picked up a by pass hose for now. I later tapped on the accelerator, and the idle dropped down to normal, and sounded great. The freaking Winter has been horrendous, and I haven't had a chance to do anything with it yet. But, am very excited!..........

Yes. It was, no doubt swapped out. The VIN says 360 - which is primarily what a '72 truck would have.

Nice feature of the FE family is when it comes to rebuilding time, whatever you do to one of them can be done to all of them whether you start with a 352, 360, 390, 427, or 428. Should you ever want to rebuild, you can dial in the compression ratio for whatever bore you have by buying custom pistons with modern ring pack. They cost more than off the shelf pistons but imo they're worth it for more power and mpg. If you want to get a stroker kit or after market heads it doesn't matter which FE you start with either. And since the power difference between a factory 352 pickup engine and a 360 is so minimal, it's more or less academic which engine you currently have.

I used to have a '71 F100 w/Hot Rod 390 + C-6 Tranny.
I did the Steering Column Swap on it - installing a 78/79 Bronco Tilt Steering Column that I got Super Inexpensive.
Makes it shorter, too, of course, to where the Steering Wheel isn't in your chest - much better drivability.
I'll eventually be doing that to this Truck - probably next Winter.
But, trying to find one of those that is for a Manual Transmission like mine is very difficult - so I may have to get one of the modern ones.
