Thread: 352 looking for some horsepower...cheap??

Tweet

i also have a 1965 galaxie with a 352, your best bet would be to find a 390 or 428 i put a cam, intake, and headers on my 352 and it was a pig off the line, but on the highway its would scream, i am currently in the process ofbuilding a 427 for it

Thanks for the replies!!
A guy I work with gave me a 352 he had rebuilt once...bored out 30 over ( by the way, what exactly does that mean...3 thousands of an inch from the stock 4.00 bore and now be 4.03???). It overheated years later and started running funny... it started using alot of coolant before he pulled it out and stored it. After reading some articles,...can't I bore this out more and basically turn it into a 390 with longer stroke rods??
Another question; are 1961/62 police interceptor heads compatible with the 352. How much would I expect to pay for them or a set of decent heads?
Another Question; Since the stock engine I have is already running...I will probably just tune it up a little for now till I rebuild another one. Now the question...Is it worth my time to mess with this other 352 I have? Would it be better or cheaper to get the 300 to 350 horse out of a different motor?
Thanks again for the help!!!
