Which engine 302 carb or 352 carb?
When i got this truck the guy sold the 352 and bought 302 out of 71 ford torino. My question is should stick with the 302 or try to find the another 352 and sell the 302? The 302 still needs a intake manifold. The truck is manual trany "C" type, column shift. The 352 is what its supposed to be.
I found a 390 for 200 bucks or the guy wants me to put the 302(missing intake) in trade for it. He wants the 302 for a mustang. The 390 runs he said someone stole trany out of his truck. Whats the story with the 360/390 burning oil all the time?

Hi,
The nice thing about the 390 is that it will have the 352 casting on the front, so visually it would look like the correct motor. I'm guessing that since you're looking for a 352 that your truck is a 67...
Most 360's magically turn into 390's on sale day, so check the stroke (or pull the oil pan) to confirm.
I dunno about excessive oil consumption, that's a new one to me. I had a 67 with a transplanted 390 that didn't burn a drop of oil (it made up for that by leaking out of every possible place
).

Cool. Good luck with your project. My advice is to hold on to every 67 specific part you have, and collect up any others you can get your hands on (whether you think you need them or not). I'm replacing a 68-72 cab on my 67 with the proper 67 cab, and getting some of the parts has been a bit of a challenge (ie: doors!).

Why wouldn't you match the parts? Buy ps pump and bracket to match the motor you choose (if they're even different between motors)...
