[DeTomaso] 5.5 litre ford?????

[Doug Braun]

A 4.00" bore and 3.50" stroke works out to 351.9 cu-in (5.766 liters) so 352
cu-in (5.8 liters) would be the more correct monikers for this engine size.
For purely marketing reasons Ford rounds up in one case and rounds down in
another to reach 351 cu-in and 5.7 liters for their current engine names.

blue 73L #5505
