Re: Adding turbo to classic FE block
I just noticed that you only included one picture and it's the flat carb pad 360HP manifold.
The 390HP was a completely different manifold and was also used on the 385HP, 406.
The 360HP, was a...

Re: Adding turbo to classic FE block
5851a, as you surmised, it was a typo, I corrected it.

As they say......"If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen" :)
The Dec '59, Hot Rod Mag's proto type and Motor Trends production car test, in Jan of '60, prove the time line!

Re: Adding turbo to classic FE block
All I can say, is that I've showed you the documentation that you asked for and you and when I ask for the same thing, your response is:
"I am not about to get into a 'show me yours and I will...

Re: Adding turbo to classic FE block
KULTULZ (https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/member.php?u=24027), I'm afraid I will need some documentation of the things you are stating.
The HP 360, was not a first release, it came after Dec of '59....

Re: Adding turbo to classic FE block
I don't think the above ever happened.
The 360 HP 352, had heads specifically designed for it, they were C0AE -D and had a minimum 59.7cc cast chamber. Same heads that were used on the 375/401...

Re: Adding turbo to classic FE block
I must make a correction to the CR, it was 10.5, not 10.8 (hit wrong key) but, still the highest Ford CR for the FE.
I bought it from the guy that pulled the engine but, I didn't want the ...

Re: Adding turbo to classic FE block
I was a mechanic from '62, until '70. Most of that time (2 years in the Army as a mechanic), I worked in SoCal and the shop had a tow service and a wrecking yard. I had access to all kinds of things....

Re: Adding turbo to classic FE block
I'm the proud owner of a '58 Edsel 361, cast in Sept of '57. They were also in the '59 line up and were a 2 year only engine.
The stated bore size was always a mystery to me. It was called out at...
