As Mike posted over in Sam's, he has a chance to pick up a '65 Galaxie with a 352 and a 4bbl sittin on her.The question is, what are the 352 based off of and what kind of power and reliability issues, if any, are there with these motors??? I know they came in the early T-Birds but I really have no info on them personally -- so how about it gang???   have a good one  ------------------

It's from the FE big block family, like the 360/390/406/428 engines. It has a 4.00" bore.------------------

Lotta iron, little cubes... plus the nuisances and headaches FE's seem to have when building (so I'm told, I have no experience with working on one other than changing plugs and replacing a carb).
IMHO: Lots more trouble and expense than it's worth; unless it's the original engine in a restoration, or you gotta "dare to be different" (and then you're still better off with a 390).------------------

Sounds like a fun car to me.I dont know much about those motors.
How hard would it be to get a 390 in it.If the 352 ever stopped running------------------

390 is to a 352 like a 302 is to a 289.
The interchange perfectly.------------------
