All Rights Reserved. Joined: The FT was used in medium and heavy duty trucks, and is quite different from an FE.I’ve just updated the article to include the light-truck versions of the FE, including the 360.My 65 F-100 came with a 352 until the P.O.

even bell housing, exhaust manifolds, the old water pump, just about anything cast.Bad water pump was my first clue that engine was NOT a 330.

Just sit there and put your foot into it. I remember Ford had quite a time in ’77-’78 with cracking blocks and heads on the ‘truck’ 351M and 400. It also had rusted rear quarter panels, quite alarming to those who lived outside of salt country where this car was, but actually a very solid car to anyone with salt country experience.

It would be nice to know as this is a 51 YR-OLD TK with 76000 miles and I will assuredly need parts in the future. Sep 4, 2009 Your comment about 352 meaning anything from a 330 to a 428 are also consistent with George Reid’s High Performance FORD Engine Parts Interchange book. If memory serves, stock 360s should have full-skirt pistons, so it was a lot of inertia and reciprocating mass to move around…they were typically completely spent by 3,500 RPM.Sorry for the long winded reply, and I really wish I could have kept that truck – it was a real gem. more than a light duty block due to the metallurgy and extra material in the block to stiffen up the crank bore.When I popped the heads off of my engine at around 170K miles to repair to burned exhaust valves, I was shocked to discover flat-top pistons with valve reliefs (360’s should have had severely dished pistons and a correspondingly low compression ratio), and also ZERO wear in the bores – no ridge at the top, cross-hatch honing clearly still visible. Several complaints about lack of power and valve float above 6,000 rpm resulted in Ford upgrading the distributor and improving the valve springs and retainers on subsequently manufactured engines.By 1961, the 352 had been beaten back down to a rather pedestrian 2-barrel engine having 220 advertised horsepower. A 4.2346 bore brings that to 426.34, or 6,986cc. Later, the man came back by.

That said, although nothing is official, the general consensus in the car world seems to be that the FE was a “Big Block”. This is because the 352 uses smaller cylinders to start with in the original casting of the block. Beginning in 1966, it was an option on the Ford Fairlane and Mercury Cyclone. 352, 360, 390, 406, 427, 428. .

Wish I could say it is stock, but, it is a modest RV build – Edelbrock Performer carb, manifold, cam and headers.FE series has always been my favorite Ford engine(s). This availability is intriguing; the 352 was also available in the 1958 Ford police cars, and it was advertised as being an “Interceptor V8”. When the Chevrolet Tri-Power arrived on the scene, William was upside-down, still holding to the steering wheel with one hand the the grab handle with the other. Was a 427 ever factory installed on A Mustang? C4TE means 1964 truck engine.

I know my way around the 330 and 361 engines quite well. He used the resources of Holmon-Moody in Charlotte to complete much of the “special” work on this car.

Introduced in 1966, the 410 only stuck around for two model years.Standard issue for the Mercury Park Lane, this engine was rated at 330 horsepower . Power curve from 20 mph to 100mph was amazinglyI wonder if your 70 mustang 351 Cleveland was the one with “quenched” heads? Bare medium-duty blocks also reputedly weighed somewhere around 20 lbs. But then again maybe I am just splitting hairs too….The point here is that these designations are a bit arbitrary. In 57 IIRC the 292 became standard and the 312 was the top dog to compete with the 283. It’s a totally different engine from the FE 410, which was built in the mid 60s.My wife had a 461 MEL in here 66 Lincoln connie two door. This helped stabilize the crankshaft under high loads. It’s pushing a little over 650 hp now and eats Chevy’s for breakfast… lol. They were the coolest, and we all hated them for that.cars were not really a part of youth culture in europe in the early 60s. He claims it is a solid lifter engine, the "police interceptor". It’s not like they took bored 352 blocks and then overbored them again. Radar love is the best Hot rod/muscle car driving music.British band Catherine Wheel has a song called “Car” that mentions Ferraris and Jaguars.A big thank you for this article, Jason.

Here you have engines in blue, orange, white, and black – that is so much more variety than plain old bow tie orange.

Ran like a dream. The 430 was the different MEL engine. The equivalency in liters is no big deal, but cubic centimeters get very tricky. Drivers side front casting says 352.
