Ford 352 push rod motor??
 

I tried some research on past posts about this combo but all the links are dead. Is it available as an assembled crate engine? If not is there a parts list available? Seems like an economical way to get back in class racing with a reliable low maintenance piece. I would be looking to put it in an older car for FGT\? In Super stock. Either a 67 Fairlane or a 73 Mustang Anyone have any thoughts or who is the go to? I know Dick Lux ran this in his Comet (rip) looks like the Halls put one in their 68 mustang.
Thanks for any help.

Division 6 S/S 6035 Jerry Pruitt has had great success with this combination..You might want to message him on this forum

I am currently having one built by Chris Holbrook. 1967 Mustang and will fit in FGT/H,I J. The parts list is on the Class racer link. Boss 302 block, Z304d heads, EFI intake and 4 hole throttle body. It is 347 stroker with bigger bore.

Re: Ford 352 push rod motor??
 

Two very different combos, Jerry Pruitt is running a '64 352 FE type motor, Lux was running a Windsor type Factory GT combo. Not to say that they aren't both good combos in their own ways but two very different deals. Regarding the 352 Windsor motor combo, it is not a crate motor and I think you will find that getting the head castings might be a problem.

I spoke to Rusty Hall in Baytown, they have the motor out of Dick Lux’s car in theirs.

The Cobra Jet 352 is a good combination. RJ and i built a car from scratch and i am in the process of building a 95 Mustang Super stock with the 352 CJ. The GT weight breaks have changed so the car can move around to many more classes. Nick Morris, Neal Rhodes and John Stock i believe are running this engine.

BIll Dyer had one with a stick in his gold Mustang and that thing flew!

It's a decent combination but hard to overcome the 360 Drag Pak and the 130# weight difference.

There is also a 428 Windsor type combo, has anyone looked into that one?

Re: Ford 352 push rod motor??
 

I think that is what Larry Deforest is running.

Robin, you are correct, Scott Burton also has a 428 powered stocker, and Gary Richard has a 428 stocker, and a 428 powered super stocker.

There are also a 363 , and a 427 windsor combinations.

As does D1 racer, John Cannata.

Isn't there also a 429" Windsor with a small bore and big stroke to take advantage of the allowable overbore which the big bore ones can't do?

Re: Ford 352 push rod motor??
 

Yes, Cook Bros car that Barton drives is a 429 and Cody Herron, Evan Smith just did a video with Cody's car a couple weeks back.

I run 352 in 2010 mustang

Re: Ford 352 push rod motor??
 

I have 2010 mustang fresh engine I have been thinking about selling 352 combination

Re: Ford 352 push rod motor??
 

Bob Alexander from Clinton Illinois is building one as well. While not really a "Windsor" in my opinion since it has canted valve heads similar to the Cleveland engine family.

I worked with Gary Summers on his Super Stocker with that engine.

Re: Ford 352 push rod motor??
 

I believe Fred Henson is running the 429 Ninja engine. I hope to see him at the races.

Re: Ford 352 push rod motor??
 

Did John Stock run a 352 in his Cobra?

Re: Ford 352 push rod motor??
 

We own the car now. It is for sale.

Re: Ford 352 push rod motor??
 

Yes, John ran the 352 when I saw it a couple years ago.

Brett Candies is car race ready or does motor need freshning thanks

Re: Ford 352 push rod motor??
 

Ready to race.

Re: Ford 352 push rod motor??
 

Are these engines available complete or do they have to be made up from parts? I can't find any listing for the 352, 428 or 429, just 347's, 427 and 460" ones.

Re: Ford 352 push rod motor??
 

Our engines were made up from parts. Purchased cylinder heads and throttle body from Ford.

Re: Ford 352 push rod motor??
 

I was hoping this was the case Tom but it appears one would need to collect the proper pieces and build their own.

Re: Ford 352 push rod motor??
 

Yes, they are called paper engines and they require specific parts.

This is the link to the parts list:

Re: Ford 352 push rod motor??
 

The throttle body is available thru Accufab, and there is a Edelbrock Super Victor EFI intake manifold that is a legal replacement for the Ford Racing intake manifold.

Re: Ford 352 push rod motor??
 

Yes, the Edelbrock Super Victor EFI intake for the 8.2W and 9.5W is the legal replacement.

By the way, Jerry, do you remember when I proposed to NHRA the Edelbrock intakes as a replacement and was rejected and 7 months later it was accepted when someone else proposed the same intakes? :D :rolleyes:

Re: Ford 352 push rod motor??
 

Kevin Cour (RIP), also ran a Windsor engine on his Cobra Jet.
I believe that Jim Caughlin did the headers for the car also.

Re: Ford 352 push rod motor??
 

I certainly do remember that !
