Projects 338ci Y-Block Wrapped Up in '30 Model A Tudor

Got some work done today. Got the body cleaned out and off the frame, then started to clean out all the crap. Dirt, bad wood and the like. Turns out I got a real nice body!








Seats look nice too! I think I might go with green for the color, I didn't want to copy Derrek's truck too close but I like green and I can take a darker color.

 

I'm having Fun!

 

Cool! Subscribed.

 

Awesome. I like to see the Y-Block getting some respect! We're putting one in a '29A RPU at the shop, right now.

 

It's destined to be a drag car. See? It's already popping wheelies!

 

Looks a cool project, I like Y blocks to, subscribed.
Look forward to seeing the updates.

 

Tim, how do you make a 338? Please tell us more about the motor.

 

I was just about to ask the same question, I'm thinking 312 +30 ???

 

Wow wild man Tim is at it again!!! hoow about painting it to match 416, sure would look cool as a pull vehicle also!!!............Great start Tim another one to subscribe......

 

Cool build, subscribed

 

The short story is it's a 292 "bored and stroked"

The long story is that it's the engine that I built for my pickup three years ago and then ended up in my dragster after the 322 block cracked. I used a 292 crank that was offset ground to 3.580" stroke with 1.888" throws. It has a set of 6.300" H-beam "NASCAR" rods with, dare I say, 307 scrub pistons for a 3.875" bore. It will be topped with a set of ported 113 heads with 2.02" in and 1.6" ex. The heads that are on the engine now will stay with the dragster and the new engine as they are set up for reverse flow with the water outlets at the back of the heads.

I will run "lakester" headers with turn-downs and a system with mufflers underneeth but "un-cork" them for racing. Intake will be a Blue Thunder with a Road Demon four barrel until I can get a set of logs and run four 97s or 94s.

 

That's so rad! I always dug the shit out of the Boling Truck. Y-Blocks are also the shit!

 

I can tell by your avitar.

 

It's this engine right here!

That video is so bad ass

 

y blocks r the shit. coolest sounding motor in my book

 

the vid made my day sweeeeeeeeeeeet

 

Yup, my little Y has gotten me all over North America with no problems at all (knock on wood) Man they are bitchin little motors.

Yup, nothing beats the sound of a Y

 

That was bitchen! Almost all the cars that I am gathering parts for or building at the moment are all y blocks. They sound great and make some good power!

 

Today Derrek got most of the chassis done, atleast enough so we could put the body down on for a fitting. I like it.

Chassis with ladder bars and shock mounts fitted.

Front mounting points





Derrek cutting the floor out



lowering the body



And finally down on the frame, looks pretty good if I do say so myself.

 

We did use the fork lift to lower the body on the rails but I could have done it myself.

Very kool dude, subscribed! Im building a 31 coupe with a 57 312 y block also, love them i also have a 58 f-100 custom cab short wide box and a 60 f-100 short wide box y blocks in both!

It's going to stay a stocker though.

Your chassis is looking great! Hope to see it doing wheelstands at Eagle

 

Pretty Cool T.

 

Little update on todays work. Pulled the body down a little more to get ready for sandblasting. Also ripped the "tin top" out.





Bunch of old crap wood the will be replaced with new!

 

That's way too clean. I like it!
