didn't take too much extra work and now i have a car that's not a bellybutton chevy sb.a real rust free 32 3w that i have had since 68.still has original interior.
I'd like to see it too, lately I've been gaining appriciation for those Y-blocks, I'm fixin' my Galaxie at a buddy's house and his dad is redoing a 56 T-bird. Neat engines, 50 years ahead of Edelbrock with their "Air-Gap" intakes!
Mike, this thread is useless without some pics man! I'd bet a large sum that this car is a knockout. Y Block has got to look great
I have 2 Y blocks and love them ! They are very dependable and you can get some good power out of them too ! Top with a 3x2 and open headers . Love the sound of a hopped up Y block ! Glad to see you didn't do the crate thing .
Doesn't look like he's ever posted pictures of it here Doesn't sound like there's anything to be ashamed of...everyone is always proud to show off their '32...even if it's a pile...and I doubt that's the case here... So out with it! TODD
Hope this thread doesn't turn out to be as pointless as this one...http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=352632 Let's see it!
a good pick much better then a sbf way more cool factor i have a 312 y-block in my 58 ford i,ve put many miles on and love it as the saying go sure ford made a motor after the y-block but who grives a shit if i couldn,t run a y-block in it i would put a sbc in it just to piss off the die hards ha ha
I put a Chrysler Tank engine in my Austin Bantam... didn't take much extra work. I've owned the tank engine since WWII. I also put an Allison aircraft engine in my mini-bike...
Yeah, I have heard stories like that before... like the guy that has a 32 3window that he paid 3,500 bucks for (it ran) and put a Viper engine and trans in it. no frame mods. only suspension mods.... just a drop axle. Still havent seen the car or pics of it either. Pics please
Need pictures showing motor mounts, trany and mounts. Any special problems with the oil pan, steering problems. Need pictures, they speak lots of words. Thanks in advance
PICTURES! pictures, ppiiccttuurreess, pictures Pictures. Geez what's the big deal with the pictures? This guy didn't provide them the last time he posted a thread about this phantom deuce, what makes you think he will now? Or maybe he's like me, no digital camera available and even if I had one I wouldn't take the time to post the pictures.
this is such a screw up with no pics, your are to go pull the 312 and send overnight express to me ASAP. lol
Here I was going to give you thumbs up for putting a Ford engine into a Ford and a Y block at that . Now I am starting to wonder if this is what the guy up the street did with his deuce and you are pissed off as hell for taking an idea you had told him if you had that deuce ! PICTURES ? PICTURES ? PICTURES ? OH well .......I guess it won't happen !
