Questions about a 352

Hello all!

I'm getting some research done before I get back to the states. I currently have a well built 351W in my 58, but I got a lil overzelous and now will only run on 91. Well I like he odd stuff, so I was looking into building up a 352 and slapping it into the tacowagen. Can anyone give me any insight into these motors? Are they even worth my time? Are they a good foundation? Also would a MILD build on one be ok with a dual 2 inch exhaust? Thanks for yalls time!

And while I'm here what is the best size tire to run on the stock rims? I remember seeing it awhile ago, but I can't seem to find it. thanks!

they are heavy,thirsty,and slow reving stump pullers. very long running and dependable. can be built to turn up pretty good.i would call it torque motor with that long stroke.could still be what you are looking for.maybe not. have seen some fairly fast 390s
