1952-59 Ford 1955 Ford 272 road draft tube assembly

Hello. Does any manufacturer make an after-market (new) road draft tube ***embly for the1955 272 engine? If not, does anyone have a good one for sale? (I checked Mac's and Carpenter, but did not see one.)
Thanks, Mato

 

Have you thought about eliminating the road draft tube and going PCV like on early 60's 292's ? Info on doing that has been here: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=5 Where it has often been discussed.

 

I'm actually looking into it.

 

Adding a PCV system has been discussed many times on the blocksforever also. The factory used a steel plate for your style engine on the thunderbirds and later engines . A later year valley pan is best but not necessary. You could drill yours for a grommet and fabricate a oil deflector under it. I just completed one on a 292 with dual quads so a single carb one pretty ez. As stated if you can get a 61-64 valley pan it’s a cinch.

 

Dont bother with the pcv conversion. I tried it and started getting random oil loss. After a conversation with Tim Mcmaster I put the road draft tube on my y block. He told me that he has never had much success with them and doesn't run them anymore. If you are still looking for s road draft tube I may be able to help.

 

If you park in a garage attached to your home given some time you will like a PCV system. I am very pleased with the one I installed with factory 61-64 parts.
