RE: 1960 352hp |

That's very interesting. I've had people tell me that the HP block should be a B9A #..... but I'm not claiming that to be absolute. What I've figured out about the HP 352 was that it was performance in progress, i.e., late engines may have received the improved rods and undrilled blocks. It's very difficult to find solid information on these cars/engines. I do know that my car had few owners. I bought it from a guy who bought it off a Ford dealer used car lot in 1962. I bought it from him in 1998. The engine was broken....a valve dropped into #8 in 1968. According to him, the engine had never been changed and it was fully equipped as a Hi Po. My Sunliner was built in L.A. too on April 25, '60. The original B9AE block was cast in February of 1960. I found the build sheet to this car stapled to a piece of sound deadner on the back of the passenger door upholstry panel. It has printed in the comments section: High Performance Engine O.D. Trans HD 3.56 axles brakes 7.10 X 15 W Nylon Tires Thanks for telling me some things about your Starliner. I want to find out as much as I can about the '60/'61 HP cars. |
