Was the 352 Ford engine any good?
Added (1). Well, good news so far. Thanks Gentlemen. I'm buying a 1967 Ford 250 4WD. It has the 352 motor in it. It sounds really good. Doesn't smoke a bit when started. Told it doesn't burn any oil. Has a 4-speed but really low gearing. 55mph is about tops on the road. It's my first truck. So I'm excited about it.
Added (2). I found out today how good this motor sounds with a decent exhaust system. I found a set of headers out of Craigslist yesterday. Today Midas put them on for me and a pair of glass pack header mufflers and dumped the exhaust just behind the cab, both sides. Wow. I'm really happy!
Yeah
Its an monster engine the best ford ever had fo sure
Popular in grain trucks. Lots of them around farm country. Very good reputation.
It was a reliable engine, and it was used in a variety of applications, 1967 was the last year for it and by that time it was pretty outdated. It was replaced by the 360/390, both of which were better in every way.
352/360/390 were the same basic engine called a FE, made from 1958 to 1976. The were also the the same basic block as the 427 and 428 Cobra Jet. They were the big block of the '60's. A very tough engine.
They ran in in NASCAR for a couple of years with some fancy heads.

- How to make my '67 ford 352 v8 rumble more and idle more rough? So I have flowmaster super 10's on it, I've lowered the idle to about 650-700 rpm. It just doesn't sound like I want it to. I want it I sound more drag car like. More like a race engine. Is there anything I can do?
- Can any car horn work in any car model? I want to put the FIAMM 72102 12 V High Note One & Two Term. / Universal Bracket and Fisk low note in my Ford Fiesta. Can any horn work. I managed to get a air horn to work. So I'm hopping these will work
- Can you put any engine in any car? I have heard of people putting like a Nissan engine in Ford car. Can you do that with basically any car and engine?
