lincoln merc y blocks who is using em???? pics needed

i am doing some research for a possible future projects. school me on the bigger lincoln merc y blocks. what bellhousing do you use to put a mnual trans behind one? what sizes did they come in ? i have found 317 341 368 and the truck blocks 302 332? do truck blocks have a taller deck? anything to watch out for or look for? anyone have any pics of a big lincoln y block in a hotrod???? we need pics.

 

got me a 302 truck engine
crank snouts for cabover and others may not be same as car!!

 

I have a 317 truck engine and a 368 car engine. The good things about the truck is the rear sump pan and pickup and the 3.5 inch stroke crank as I need to be under 372 inches to make class and the 368 is +.040 already.

 

Try M.E.L. in search....

 

I think he's talking about Y block(lincoln) not mel.Both cool engines.

 

anything.... at all..... nothing. i guess there are many lincoln y blocks out there in hotrods????

 

Don't forget the 279 Ford truck engine! That is part of the Lincoln/Big Furd truck Y blocks.

They are cool engines. I am going to be putting my 368 and dual range hydro in my 57 F-100 push truck one of these days.

If I keep it, my 53 Merc will get a Lincoln 317 and dual range hydro. This one will be interesting, might need that Furd truck oil pan and pickup. The Merc has a weird crossmember and will be close fit .

 

Try this thread, quite a few Lincoln Y-Block Hot Rod Pics, including this gem.
