It is a big, heavy, gas eating chunk of iron that has awesome low end "stump pulling" power. The 360 is the little "de-tuned" brother of the 390 and also a close relative of the 352,410,&428, to name some. They all belong to the FE series of engines.
Please do not ask what FE stands for, save the arguing and do a search of past topics if you really want to know

Anyway, it is a pretty much useless engine so please remove it and send it to me and I will send you a genuine Canadian dollar

Keep in mind that the 360 can easily be changed to a 390 by changing crank, rods, pistons. All else (block, heads, valvetrain, etc..) the same. More stroke, more torque.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, welcome to the club. '76 F250 4x4 is my personal favorite.

Hey gary
welcome to FTE!
as for that F250 you have, well, its a terrible truck, i think you should come to New jersey, put it up for sale and get a toyota!

Seriously, you have ONE GREAT truck and that 360 is a heck of a motor! Its not as spunky as its bigger bro (390) but it CAN be made into a 390 really easy. There are guys here on this board who can tell you how to do this really explicitly--moreso than me. Anyway, take care of yr vintage iron and if you need any info, you came to the right place!
regards
