Ford actually did make a 352, I wouldn't have believed it myself if my friend hadn't have shown me his 67 ford truck with one in it.

I have a 64 chevelle/malibu with 454,doug nash 5spd, dana 60, 6 point roll cage. Currently parked needing a complete rebuild from years of hard use while I was a dumb teenager.
I also still have my first truck, a 73 chevy shortbox stepside. Mild 350,muncie 4spd, 12 bolt posi. Still running but the whole truck needs restored.

Your the only person I've talked to besides my buddy that believes me. Others just look at me like Im an idiot(which may be true). I'm not even a ford guy and I know they exist.

Well look at that..................I likely would have argued till I dropped because I never new that and it seems awfull strange to make a 351 and a 352 and call them both Clevelands.
Please tell me there was only one Cobra Jet....429
