1960 Starliner
I am looking for data on factory exhaust manifolds for the 1960 Ford Starliner with a 352 cid motor. To my knowledge the standard exhaust manifold on all the 352 cid motors except the 360 HP motor was the log style manifold. The 360 HP motor came with the shorty cast iron header.
Can anyone confirm this? Do you have this info in a book or something I can print out? Thanks |

Re: 1960 Starliner
This is from Wikipedea. The title of the article is "Ford FE Engine". Especially note the last sentence. BTW, from my experience don't even bother with the usual exhaust manifold gaskets; spend a few extra bucks and get the solid copper ones.
Introduced in 1958 as part of the Interceptor line of Ford V8 engines, the Ford 352 of 351.9 cu in (5.8 L) actual displacement was the replacement for the Lincoln Y-block. It is a stroked 332 with 3.5 inches (88.90 mm) stroke and a 4 inches (101.60 mm) bore, and was rated from 208 bhp (155.1 kW) with a 2-barrel carburetor to over 300 bhp (223.7 kW) on the 4-barrel models. When these engines were introduced, they were called Interceptor V-8 on the base models and Interceptor Special V-8 on the 4-barrel models.[23] The 1958 H vin coded 352 was designated as Interceptor V-8 Thunderbird Special according to the 1958 Ford V8 Cars & Thunderbird Service Manual pg 483. The Interceptor was the base-performance engine in 1958. For the 1959 model year, the FE engine series was renamed the Thunderbird V-8 and the Thunderbird Special V-8.[24] When installed in Mercury vehicles, these engines were named "Marauder". This series of engines usually weighed over 650 lb (295 kg).[27] In 1960 Ford created A High Performance version of the 352 rated at 360 horsepower (270 kW) it featured an aluminum 4bbl intake manifold, A Holley 4160 Carburetor, cast iron "header" style exhaust manifolds, 10.5:1 compression ratio and A solid lifter valve train. |

Re: 1960 Starliner
That is correct. The 352/300hp 4V non HiPo out of my '60 Starliner has log type manifolds. The 352 Hipo had shorty cast iron headers. Believe the early 390 HiPo, 406 as well as the early Police Interceptor motors used them as well. Everything but the '63/'64 427 Galaxies and Mauraders, which had the long cast iron headers.
