Jerry , welcome to the best group on the HAMB ! Nice looking hotrod I must say ! What's under the hood ? Jim
Thanks all, Retro its the stock y block with straight pipes... low, slow, and loud ! lol gotta let johnny law whos commin..cant wait to install the flame throwers!
I really like the sound of a Y block too . They have that special sound , something like the flathead has . Sorry to say I am replacing mine because I want a lot more than the Y block can give me for the money . Still the Y block is a strong pulling engine . I still have the Y block in my 55 backed up with dual Cherry Bombs right now . When I drop my 302 in , it will be backed up with 2 new 24" Cherry Bombs or New dual Smithys . I will test both mufflers out when I have my engine on a test stand to see which I like best . Jim
