RE: 360 Engine
352 - 360 - 390 = initerchangable for the most part. It's an FE ( which Ford called an intermediate block ) Design.
They're not interchangable with the 302 - 351 in anyway at all. Best way to ID an FE motor is the intake is in combination with the ports on the heads. It's suppose to flatten out the *V* and create more power. As we all know that's not the case. the FE was a unique idea on paper, however, once implimented, it flopped in bad ways.

Nope, never needed to be and never knew that Ford made a 360.. When it comes to trucks, I'm a Dodge man..

That sounds like your not familiar with Ford trunk engines.

You must like that Cummins diesel engine that Dodge puts in their trucks.

Yea, the FE was a terrible flop, it was only produced for 18yrs. from 1958 to 1976. It took the advent of CAFE and strict emissions laws to kill it. Sure glad I don't have one of those POS 427 Cammer's.

RE: 360 Engine
Yeah or a crappy 428 CJ.. they are the absolute worst. Nobody in their right mind would ever want a 427 Side oiler or anything high rise, they are just too wimpy... rofl.. If you find any of those floppy engines, that are over 400ci, let me know. I need some boat anchors... Like the chevys that are in the boats now..
Give me a Duramax turbo anyway in my truck. AWESOME diesel right there.

RE: 360 Engine
Of course Carrol Shelby just wanted a really heavy lump of iron to put in his 427 Cobra. No other reason than he likes the shape of the valve covers is what I hear.. Anyone else ever read or hear about the aluminum 390 they put in a Cobra?
