Interesting swap, since the last year of the 352 was 1966. That engine was old before the truck was even built! Our first car after we got married was a 1964 Ford Galaxy with a 352. Sturdy engines, but really heavy for the HP they put out.
We towed our first trailer to Alaska with a 19-gallon gas tank and no extra 5 gallon cans. Made it fine, but filled up every time we neared 1/2 empty and saw a gas station. Averaged just under 13 MPG over the entire 10,000-mile trip. Most expensive gas on the trip was on the BC part of the Alaska Highway at Muncho Lake.
