The 352 CID V8 was an available option for the F100 and larger series trucks in 1964.
My brother in law purchased a new F250 camper special in mid 1964, the dealer offered him the 352 engine as an option, however, they did not have one so they would have to order the truck... They had the truck with a 292 so my brother took it to save $35.00.
He was sorry the minute he put his new 11' camper on the truck.
I had a F-350 with the 292 V8 that gave me a lot of trouble. I went to Ford with the problem, they suggest converting the truck to an FE engine. Ford supplied all of the conversion mounts/bellhousing, fly wheel etc.
I picked up a complete engine out of a low mileage wrecked truck and bolted the thing right up to the T-98 trans. Of course I had to have an exhaust built for the truck.
We used the truck in our business for ten more years with no problems.
