Question about the 352V8
Hello all, Just found this site and I'm like a kid in a candy shop. (So much info.) My question: I'm aware of all the different 351's made but the other day someone told me that there were 2 different 352's. I was suprized, is this true and if so what are the differences?

First & foremost welcome to the greatest Ford info site around; To answer your questions to the best of my knowledge ford incorporated the 352 FE engine in 1965, and there's only one style of the 352 engine and its originially a 2 barrel set-up; the 351 is either a 351W, 351C or 351M. But the 352 is all by its self. The folks over at the 332, 352, 360,390 etc forum, could probably better answer your question. but I believe there's only one style of the FE 352 block.
Others know more, but I always give it my best shot.
Again welcome aboard....

Custom Cab's got it right. The 352 is of the FE - Ford Edsel - family of engines. It was introduced in the late '50s on cars, but not until '65 did it show up in trucks.
The 351 Clevleand (351C) the 351 Modified (351M) and the 400 (bored 351M) are in the 335 family by themselves.
The 351 Windsor (351W) is in the same family as the 289 and 302.
Your 352's family includes the 330, 360, 390, 406, 410 , 427 and 428.
You can read up on all these engines in their various forums!

Thanks guys I was pretty sure that there was only one 352,and FERacing66 you are absolutely right it is a great engine. My Dad bought my 65F100 new and it's only been rebuilt once. I will never part with it.

Let me toss in $.02's... There were of course different HP rating motors used in the trucks compared to the car line engines. The truck motors were of the lower compression variety, but they were all of the FE engine family.
