Patrickt,

That would make as much sense as anything else I have heard. Only one thing wrong with that IMHO. The 352 wasn't the first FE engine. The 332 was. So if the 352 came a year after the 332, which had the same front as every FE from it on up through all the rest, how did the machinist know the 352 specs?
