How is it that all these innocent people are mislead to believe that the FE family is a direct replacement for the Y-blocks?! Nothing could be further from the truth. These engines don't even use the same *cotton-pickin* engine mounts!! Please come see me in the Y-block forum with any disagreements. <Soapbox crumbles>

292-352 Swap?
I've been down this route before. A 352 (or any FE) will not bolt up to a T-98 (64 and earlier 4spd tranny). To get around this, I bought a 352 with a t-? (the 4spd successor to the T-98) and tried to install the whole thing. I actually had it in place but I needed to work out some new motor mounts to fit the side rails. This new setup also required a tranny support that also didn't want to fit right. The Y-block mounts are in front and off the bell housing. I also didn't care for the drive shaft angle to the transfer case (divorced TC). Nothing seemed to fit right so I eventually got tired of the whole setup and decided to keep the 292 and T-98 and am currently looking for a 312 which will bolt right up to what I have.
The 352 is a great engine but is it worth all the mods? Its up to you. The 312 isn't a bad engine. It has a longer stroke and larger bore than the 292. It also came with some decent heads in the mid 50s.
Good luck
