Y Block Builders

[Russ Gaylord Fontana]

Hi, I'm looking for information on getting hold of a good rebuilt 292, 312, Y Block to go in a '40 Ford sedan, everyone keeps saying Chevy, but I'm a Ford in a Ford kind of a guy and at present I'm a feeling like a change from a flatty. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

Also try the "Y Block Magazine", Bruce Young, Editor. Quite a few build tips and tricks.

Good for you! Love those old motors, and have one myself in the shop, ready to get rebuilt. Lots of vintage stuff around and more and more new parts coming on the market. Good luck, you'll be glad you went this route.

And ditto above. Johm Mummert is just the best.

For a cam, I can highly recommend you speak to George at Clay Smith Cams. I'm about to order another from him. Lots of knowlege there, new billets, and very nice people.

I don't know where you live but I have a 292 down to the piston and block for sale complete engine and a strong running engine and trans that's in my 55 Ford right now that I just had at the Jalopy Showdown last weekend thats for sale . I am building a strong 302 for the Ford .
I have "G" heads , Isky 3.4 race cam & taps , long tube headers , old short tube header and so on .

I'm in the UK, so it would involve shipping. On the plus side I can piggyback to the UK using a container that goes from Iola in Kansas (if that helps).
Let me know costs etc for both.
Thanks,
