Well, Ford made a 352HP (one HP per inch) motor option back then that was no slouch in the era. Central Oregon? Tires no problem with a Les Schwab down the road. Why don't you narrow the rear-end and pro-street it? She would fit right in at the high desert shows. Fun, go for it.
He's got the compression, the cam, and the right heads; it is very well possible to make those numbers. I got a '68 390 with 9.7:1 compr, lunati voodoo cam 262/268, 219/227, .540"/.552", Hooker super comp long tubes, Streetmaster 390 single plane and edelbrock 750. And I am running rebuilt HP 390 heads, not ported, but with the larger valves, and I am making around 400 solid HP and about 460 ft-lb torque. I think this guys HP numbers are very attainable with the parts that he has listed.
i just got an 66 ford w/ a 352, can i put 390 crank and rods in it, and what are good heads for a ford, like some type of fuelie heads?? is it possible to put cobra jet heads on it? any help would be great
haha im 16 too, got my first car at the age of 9. im workin on a 1975 F350 that im puttin a 65 390 in with 300*/514" lunati cam . and when i say this im not tryin to be a dick but i got headers,cam,and a 750 holley double pumper, on a single plane alum. intake , w 10.9-1 comp. ratio and im only gunna be makin around 370hp and 470tq, so i think whatever you dynoed it on was a little off.
What's crappy about the 352 ? Sure they don't make much power but all the ones I have seen are very reliable. We even have one it has sat for years several times, Pour gas in it turn the key it cranks a few times and off it goes. The engine is very worn out too ( when you crank the engine you will see blow by coming out the oil fill tube) Sadly we are going to use the engine and put a new cam and timing chain due to shortage of time and money. If it doesn't work then we need to build a 390
@eddiehenjr my 66 with a 352 has about 300,000 miles on it and it still ran great. now its being bored and stroked, 4brl carb, mild cam, and headman headers. but its still gonna be the factory block
FE big block fords drive girls nuts

the only help i could help with is you could put some 352 rods and a crank because a 352 and a 390 are the same block

Hey, nice build!
My only recommendation is to put in a built AOD instead of a C6 and keep your current rear gears!!
I'm currently building a 428 stroker for my 69 F-250. Somewhere around 465 cubes.

The 360 is the worst FE not the 352. So why didn't you go with a 390 rotating assembly?
