We are NOT making any CLAIMS so don't get your panties in a bunch . We do think Keith went pretty fast in his street legal , still street driven y- block powered three window . He had a 175 limit this year so he went 175.539 . Ted Eaton of lorena Tx built the engine and came along to help dial it in .
We know that many hambers are knowlegable so lets hear about other y-blocks that were / are faster

FityFive · 08-23-2011, 06:33 PM

Awesome!! Love them Y blocks.

Spoggie · 08-23-2011, 06:33 PM

Crazy fast. Can we see that car here on the HAMB?

Just search rolling bones , it's the 59c three window that belongs to my partner Keith . there are lots of pictures of it over the last several years

Spoggie · 08-23-2011, 06:57 PM

Thanks

Dig how you cats get these things haulin' butt. I know this is an awesome engine thread, but the suspension/ chassis ( rollin' bones..) @ 175- that lights my wick!

temper_mental · 08-23-2011, 07:00 PM

175 very impressive!

ssffnomad · 08-23-2011, 07:47 PM

Any one know of other y-block powered cars that made this kind of speed ?

**GaryB** · 08-23-2011, 08:03 PM

175... thats rollin some bones,way to go......

327-365hp · 08-23-2011, 08:08 PM

My first thought was Doane Spencer and his T-Bird. But I checked... He took the car to Bonneville twice in near street trim, turning 149.53 mph in 1961, and 166 mph in 1966.

48 Chubby · 08-23-2011, 08:20 PM

175.539 is damned fast in a bona fide street car. Add in the facts that it's a 56 year old engine design, pushin a car with the aerodynamics of a concrete block and it becomes very impressive.

what were there speeds?

**Mr48chev** · 08-23-2011, 08:30 PM

That is moving for a street driven hot rod with any engine. There has to be a landspeed historian out there with a list of top speeds run by Y blocks and probably most other engines.

There is a photo of a cake on his build thread that says congrats 127mph and that is hauling the mail with a Y block in that big box.

First day

416	D	PP	Y-Block Guy Racing	115.943	119.611	120.072	120.072
416	D	PP	Y-Block Guy Racing	111.824	118.471	119.895	119.895

Sunday

416

D

PP

Y-Block Guy Racing

115.618

120.037

120.487

Monday

416	D	PP	Y-Block Guy Racing	118.478	124.375	125.194
416	D	PP	Y-Block Guy Racing	119.544	119.096	117.338

From reading his build thread the ring gear came loose on the flywheel and that ended this years runs.

From what I could find the yellow F100 didn't run this year. At least the number it carries didn't run this year.
