A 272 is not my favorite 'Y' block (luv the 312's) but with that said, you have it, fix it and run it forever. Just do a super oil passage clean...

Dang but you folks make it hard for yourselves in NY!!!! My car, everything is a full repro or purpose built - Brookville, TCI, crate motor, 9"...
You might just be shoveling it against a tide. While you can throw a cam at the engine and hope for the best, an early 302 needs more then that....
I have a C4 in mine and wish I had the AOD - but now don't have enough tunnel room after building my '31 so will continue with the C4. I wasn't...
Sanderson FF1 headers and a Ford SVT mini starter in my '31. These were Jet Hot coated. It took me a few hours to clean up the inside - tag end...
Either will fit nicely in a '51 Ford tho the 351 is a couple inches higher and wider then the 302 Nothing beat cubic inches. I like them both -...
As said above, I too like Snyders. Then there is Brattons, Mac's and LeBarron Bonney as my favorites. You do need to shop price as they are almost...
No, don't - get some new ones. A couple hundred bucks is worth knowing that at least you have some peace of mind. Yep, others run them aged, I...
First of all, open road(not combined) my '06 3 valve V10 open road gas mileage is 14.4 with 'regular' gas and 12-13 with 10% - and proven several...
I'm not happy with 10% (or whatever it is the stations sell around my area) First of all, my DD is an F350 with a gas V10. Before 10% my gas...

Dick Spadaro either has 'em in stock or can get them fairly quickly. Look at his on-line cat or give him a call :http://www.dickspadaro.com/...
I like 'em tall - but a '27 isn't as tall as the earlier cars, but if you channel it, you might have to just to keep it in proportion
Stupid - stupid - stupid including the mouth breathing slope headed moron that posted it
A couple pictures from there
The AOD would be the first choice but may be too large as far as bell housing to firewall interferance and possibly overall diameter. It is a...
