Even if it’s the 2-bbl Autolite, there were quite a few different sizes all the way up to a rather big 1.33″ venturi model used on some 390 engines.

Where is the 352 casting on a Ford V8 engine?

The “352” casting appears on the outside of many (if not most) FE engine blocks on the rear of the block (behind the flywheel), with no regard to the real displacement. So a “352” block could really be a 332, 352, 390, 410, etc.. Measuring bore and stroke is the best way to confirm the actual engine displacement.
