Hello I have parts for a 292 Y Block I don't have time for a new project so if your looking for something, email me Sanddoc@gmail.com look on CL Los Angeles under Y Block. Best

Hello So I like to learn things. And I was interested in the "mushroom" head on the Y block lifter.. My search did not turn up any other car manufacturer who used this.. But I did find a few articles on "big" diameter solid valves Ask Anything , larger lifters. Hot Rod...

BTW. the FL - 300 fits the Y Block... I bought one from Home depot. for $5.50. they are the short version... that was the least expensive price I had seen...

In Ca. LA area

thanks Darrell, I'm sure it must be a socket... Best

Hi On the Y block the rear seal is held in place by 2 bolts can you tell me what size they are and what type they are? I have not seen that type of bolt head on any of my other cars Best

Most instrument clusters actually use 5v. and have a voltage regualator behind the dash... Don't ask my why... on my 62 Ford and 74 Dart I made an electrontic VR very easy... just a resistor... use the same case.. I often wonder why the need for 5v and not use 12v, but then I was...

Can anyone shed light on what the 36 means on the cam? and did the 64 292 use tubular push rods? There seems to be no damage to the pistons. the wrist pins seem to be tight I'll be taken the lot to L & R machine shop Santa Springs on Monday... see what they think Best PS: crank EC 44...

Hi 57 Fordor, Scicala 57 I have the Morris book... still thanks scicala just thought I would ask. I've decided to just rebuild my 292 and go for a super charger for the power. get new parts as needed, up grade to better parts if needed. "pushrods" for instance Do either of you have a oil...

Did I make a mistake, I had not seen the bell housing for over a year, stored away. I went out and looked at it, and it does have the mounting pads.. sorry... I think my current plans are to have the block hot tanked, then check the Rods and Pistons, rings, crank either get a new rotating...

Hi thanks for that info... It is a rear sump.. The bell housing does not look like that... I have the 3sp that came with it. It does have a front mount on the engine... But the bell housing does not look like that at all... in fact mine is like half moon I found that this engine uses the...
