 I believe there were two sizes, the small block carbs were 290 cfm, big blocks were 350 cfm. Just going by memory here.------------------ '70 Mustang Mach 1 351C 4V/FMX/3.25 Open '70 Mustang Convertible 250 I6/3 speed/2.79 Open '72 Mustang Sprint Hardtop 351C 4V/FMX/4.30 Trac Loc '94 F-150 XL 5.8L/E4OD/3.55 Limited Slip

 a 352 is a big block FE (Ford-Edsel) engine, later grown into the 390-427-428 engines. A 428 still has the number 352 cast into the front.    Scott

 Thought maybe carb size wise it would fall in the small block category for 290 cfm And possibly even the 360.
