The 332, 352, 360, 390, 406, 410, 427, and 428 are

Why is Ford making a 7.3 gas?

“That led us to a torque-per-liter value and a power-per-liter value, [which] knowing that, boxed us to 7.3 liters.” For fuel efficiency's sake, Ford engineers determined they wanted the

engine to generate peak power at what Beltramo considers

“relatively low” RPMs. “That's what led us to a pushrod two-valve.

Is a Ford 360 A FE engine?

The Ford 360 Truck engine was introduced in 1968 as the latest FE, or Ford-Edsel, V8 engine to power Ford trucks. The Ford 360 engine ended its run in 1976 as Ford used the 351 and 400 CID in their sixth generation of F-Series trucks from 1977 until 1979. …

by identifying the block as an FE and then compare the casting number to a listing of known 390 numbers

. If this doesn't work, measuring the bore and stroke is necessary.

How can you tell the difference between a 429 and a 460?

A 429 has a 3.590′′ inch stroke, and a 460 has a 3.850′′ inch stroke…just a

FE (which means “

Ford Engine

,” not Ford-Edsel, nor Ford Engineering) variety comes from a broad selection of bore and stroke sizes to achieve cubic-inch displacements. The 332 and 352 are fraternal twins, virtually identical engines with 4.00-inch bores.
