Hot Rods Y block photo thread

My old T

My A when I experimented running 4 2-barrels off a modified 2 4 barrel intake.-

Back to tri-power -

And my '50 Merc project with mocked up Y-Block. -

 

Six carbed 338 cid Y-Block in our channelled '32 Coupe

 

Lightly modified 292 in my 55 Ford.

 

Here's mine. WCFB's from 56 Merc's. Air cleaner is an original restored Purolator from the Performance Package offered at the Ford Dealer parts counter in 1956. One year only. It was for law enforcement and racing. Dry air cleaners mandated by NASCAR.

 

playing around with carb and color choices

 

All ready for first start up, 292 +.040, t-5 and 3.55 8" rear. Needs exhaust and wheels.

 

i was going to try this until i found the 6x2. how did this set-up run?

 

Mine' s not near as kool as these but here ya go.

 

John KAASE's 584hp Y-Block @ 5,500rpm; 596 ft lbs torque @ 4,600rpm.


What about 463hp from a Lincoln 368 Y-Block with 466ft lbs of torque?


Some other nice examples from Ford Y-Block

 

A bit late to the party but here's my 292 I'm currently working on

 

i am going to re-post this because I can't believe Y block guys are not jumping on these heads
I copied this from Facebook
This is a share from Luca Faroni, He lives in Argentine. Note that in 1969 the head-manifold design was changed to a Windsor style. This style was used until 1984. If these were in aluminum, it would have saved Jon Kaase a lot of time an money. He says that these heads are available and a rare 4 bbl manifld is also. Enjoy.

Ford Argentina use the Y Block v8 until 1984. On 1969 they develop a new head also made with iron. The new desing was based in the 289 v8 heads that Ford engeniers have from some test cars. This is know here as "FASE 2".


I didn't find this posted. Thought it was interesting to the Y block guys who have not already seen it.

That setup would throw a lot of guys off. Unique and very cool. Thanks for posting.

 

I bet it wouldn't be all that hard to have a pallet load of these heads shipped to OAK or some other port. i wounder how many would actually want a pair?

 

My Y block coupe. Glad to see more of these motors popping up!
