352 compatibility
I just bought a 54 f100 that has a 352 engine in it. I know the bore and stroke are the same for both the 352 and the 351 Cleveland, but how compatible are these engines? I know the 352 is an FE engine, but will parts interchange between the 352 and the 351C? I'm trying to determine the best route on this rebuild, and I can't figure out whether or not to work with what I've got, or try and find another engine. Thanks!

Alright, gotcha. Do you think I would be better off trying to restore the 352 I've got? That is, are the parts easily available, or would I be better off just trying to rebuild a whole different engine that is more popular?

Wow, if you have a 1954 F100 with a 352 in it, it has already had a heart transplant. 352 engines didn't appear until 1958 or 59 in cars, and a bit later in trucks!
The 352 would be a great build. As was mentioned before, nothing between the 352 and any 351 will interchange.
