Hot Rods Y Block in a 35-40 ford?

i,m glad to see more y-blocks being used they look and sound so much cooler then a 302 0r even a hemi in a street car

 

That is one pretty lookin car ! ! !

 

I was planning on putting a 312 into my 39 until I sold it to a fellow HAMB'er for his project. I was planning on using the Hurst front mount, truck timing cover (you need it to use the Hurst mount as mentioned above), a truck oil pan (it's a rear sump like a T-bird pan but cheaper) and an Offenhauser ****** adapter to bolt up the 40 Ford ****** I was using. I've got all the pieces mentioned above as the HAMB'er didn't need them. PM me if you're interested. I've also got a vintage unused aluminum flywheel with br*** insert for a Y-block I could let go. Below is the engine transplant guide from the 1958 Hot Rod Annual. Also attached is a copy of the instructions for the Hurst motor mount.
Hope these help.

 

I'm putting a Y in my 37 Ford Pickup. punched out 292 with 3 dueces.
I should have the engine back from the machine shop in the next ten days.
I am using the front p***enger car mount and the bellhousing flanges for mounts.

 

36 with a 292. Tight but doable. Definatly going to have to cut the firewall. The clearance needed is 29 inches wide + or -. I'm not sure how deep the cut will be, probably 4 inches maybe 5. Anybody done this swap?

 

Anything new on this type of swap ???

 

There's a great looking black 36 3 window in the HAMB for sale section offered by Stokers, that was built in 1956 with a new bird engine going thru a 39 box. With pictures.

 

I saw that and contacted him. He said it fit just fine. just notched the oil pan for the crossmember. Thanks Terry

 

Really *****in 3-window for sale right now with a Y. Wish I had the dough.

 

The Black 3 window above is up to almost 58,000 on E-Bay!

 

Crazy.
