352 police interceptor
its in a 68 f250 camper special
where do i get rebuild kits for it
keep in mind this was a custom truck from ford, where the orignal owner went to ford in 68 and basically built a truck from frame to suspension to the motor
in like 83 it was wrecked by my dad the second owneer and when he wrecked it the drive shaft broke at the u joint and ran it self til it blew, last time we ran it down the road was at a race track when i was 3, and it did 155mph
this engine isnt the big 2 factorie motors, it isnt hte windsor or the springfield
the question is what is the other factorie

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but here goes:
You should be able to get a rebuild kit at any auto parts store. I prefer Napa.
Most FE blocks, but not all, were cast at the Detroit Iron Foundry. I think they've got a big DIF cast in 'em. I think there were also ones cast in the Michigan Casting Center, and I dont know if they have an MCC cast into 'em or not. I think the MCC ones were mainly later FE, FT, and service blocks. Again, it's not sure that these will be on any particular block. But that's the way to tell as far as I know. Honestly I dont think it makes much difference.

I'm sure you have probably heard this several times, but the chances of it being a 352PI are slim to none. You should pull the heads off and verify what you are working with before attempting to find replacement parts. My guess is that you will find a 390 motor in there, heck, if your real lucky, maybe they tossed in a 428. Measure the bore and stroke, give us a crank cast stamp number, this will tell what's up. Let us know the numbers if you need help.
