The 352 has a 4.00 cyl bore and a 3.50 crank stroke. If a big block is what you desire go for it. Parts are easily found and not very expensive for the 352. When you get into the 427's and 428's things get expensive and a little harder to find. G.

Some respect for us old timers, please. In its day, the 352 was the hot rod engine. FEs started with 332s, and the 352 was put into the sporty cars - pickup came with the old Y block 292, even some 312 Thunderbird engines, and, as a special order, the 352. When Ford dropped the 352 and went to the 360 we all assumed it was to make up for what was lost to the then new smog controls.
I know, I know, bigger is better but lets not forget our roots.
