352 ain't a Y block I can tell you that. It's an FE motor.

Ford also never put a 352 in a Bronco.  What year Bronco is it?  I would have to do some checking but I think the 351M/400 was the largest engine installed in a Bronco.

the 69 wasnt offered with a fe motor. only the inline six (can't remember if its a 223 or not) and I believe 69 is when they started offering the 289. but whats cheap I had a 73 and would love another one.
