The 352 was one of the first of the FE engines in 1958, the 332 being the other. The 332 had a 4.00" bore and a 3.30" stroke, while the 352 has the 4.00" bore (the same block) and a 3.50" stroke.

But i am trying to find out why it is a 352 when the 351 has the same bore and stroke.Is it because it's in the fe family?
