    Have you looked through the Wilcap catalogue? Pat has a bunch of old stuff.

    Check the classifieds and ebay, they're all over the place, usually $75-100.

    I picked one up at the k-zoo swap meet a while back. They are out there, but don't seem to be as common as some of the other adaptors.

    If that doesn't work out, post a Wanted ad. I've had very good luck in the past doing that.

    We had a Speed Gem, sold it and wish we hadn't.
     
  13. Yes, if all else fails, try Pat at Wilcap. He is very knowedgeable and helpful.

  14. The Y-block was an awfully big engine (size/weight not power/displacement) and difficult to put into an early Ford so the adapters are scarce but available. Does this give you a message?

  17. The Nov. 2000 issue of Rod and Custom did a great article titled
    "110 engine and trans swaps made easy "
    It lists engines , transmissions , what do you get , what else do you need , part # and who sells it . Unfortunately the only one that they list for a Y-block is a C4 adapter . But , hopefully this article will help others .

    Have got one here in NZ made by US manufacturer McBarr for my model A. Also in NZ there are some local made ones by Berry & Chung floating about.
