Any information on the original 330 or optional 361 cubic inch "industrial engines"? Were these short-stroke, high-revving engines to make up for the numerically high rear end ratio? Same tuneup parts as the 352-390-428 FE big blocks? Was the number 352 cast into the front of the block like all the other engines in the FE series? What about performance on hills and gas mileage?

Also curious about results from swapping to 460 V8 or later V10 engines.

Has anybody installed an overdrive unit? Do you really get 22% better gas mileage?

Any related war stories that come to mind would also be interesting.

Thank you all and big thanks to Tom for establishing this forum.

PS: Talked to the guy at Iowa Boys and he says that his unit is not a Streamline. If not, what could it be?
