Ford engine comparison
I am interested in the small displacement fords, I am curious on how they compare torque wise. which is a better torquer?
I know more displacement more torque usually, but I have heard Fe makes more torque than other engines I do not know why could one seris have a better deghine for torque, I have heard that the length or stroke determines where the torque curve will fall in the power band , longer stroke lower curve (300), SHORTER Stroke higher curve (302)
352FE 351 w 351 m
360FE 370
390FE 400
Can a 351 modified out torque a 351 Windsor if they are built the same?
I think the 352 FE is about the same weight as the 351 M does one have a better design for torque?
The 360 has a low comp, how do they respond to raised comp?
Are the 370s from the 385 seris good for torque?
can a 390 out toqure a 400 if they have the same build?
More valve lift means more torque, is there a point where it starts to hurt torque?
I think valve lift can confilct with compression due to space between piston and top of combustion chamber, which is better for torque comp or lift?
THis is just going to be a toruqer for a "67-'75 ford truck for hills and mudd all mild and a daily driver to school I do not think I need a big block , I do not need much hp but nice torque and decent hp for traffic and highway pep
thanks for any info....Looking for a '67-'75 Ford 4x4, 4 speed pickup
Several years back, maybe before John & Rosie visited, Mike got fed up with work politics and took a week off to come to Kansas. We ran around the KC Metro for 2 or 3 days, and then he took a side...
