My car hit the streets for the 2nd time today. I drove it to work this morning. I still have a lot of work to do on it but it feels nice being able to drive it.
thanks guys. it's got the original y-block 272 with offy 3X2, admittidly two of the carbs are blocked off awaiting rebuild and fuel log.
Very cool,I still love Y-block's and have one my self in my rod too ,I built in 1959 when I was in highschool! Things moved slower then the WWW make it now,the SBC is the power house every one knows,but in the late 50's it was a week smoken junker V8,and others ruled the OHV V8's,hemi,cad,olds,and the Ford would but up a good show too,even a few stud's did fairly well,it was not tell the start of the 60's the bugs were out of the SBC. Remeber there was no WWW and the rod mags were 6 month behind or more on news before we got it.
