Lakesters to this senior citizen of 72 years.
You are correct, it is a 1964 truck engine. The Y block book I have educated me about the rod length. If I understand your post, I can use...
Dude, thank you so much for the post I am making the thread my next reading/study material.
Because the y block build is seriously cool. I do have an early 5 liter ford in reserve in case my y block is not usable.
Yeah, I ordered the April and July Rod & Custom last night, should be here by the first week of January. Also bought a Millermatic 211 with all...
I don't care what they say I most always say motor just to piss them off-------------------------
Today I took advantage of the warm weather and degreased and pressure washed my 64 truck 292 y-block for my 40 build. I have to build a cradle for...
You have arrived at the decision that was inevitable from your OP. Excessive blowby cannot be band aided .
I see why you would like to adapt to the filler tube and I think it would work well, you would have to modify the filler tube to attach a 3/8"...
Gotta say, I hate being 2 steps over the line---------------------
Your crankcase is pressurizing under power/RPM. An improved crankcase ventilating system might be in order. You could scavenge the pressure...
I agree with you, when I had my house built I built the garage to build cars in. Whatever is cluttering your space, be merciless in discarding...
I like that a lot! I have both the Y-Block referenced in my OP and also have picked up an early 5 liter. I will look at both but even after...
Panama-Van Halen and Money for nothing-Dire Straits.
Thanks folks, I'm pretty good with the wheel thing as evidenced by my treatment of my post 65 Barracuda. (Not Cuda') mine is an A body not an E...
I’m new so I’m still learning the rules. This site is a little more threatening to me than I am used to. I am still posting to the site I have...
Thank you
My 40 Ford project pickup came to me with no rear differential. I need some advice on what to look for that is the correct tread width or can be...
I know it's best to match intake and head port sizes. For my 273 build I found an edelbrock ld4b intake and built it a little past the original...
Thanks Wizzard, I appreciate the comment. I had a little time, no weldor and wood available so it was a make do deal. This one will be a multiple...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I need a steel topped work/welding table that I can move around and outside for welding on my 40 build project. Knocked...
My 62 SS 409 4/speed car is one I will never be able to afford to replace.
Your motors should have the large port low compression heads. The 67 and earlier had small port closed chamber heads. The later intake should port...
I like this build, I can learn from this.
I need a rolling welding table so I can move the welding process outside when needed. The last couple days I build one and tomorrow starts the...
Thanks for the thoughts all. I built this house ten years ago with the express purpose of building cars in the "shop" garage. I finished my 65 car...
Custom mixed from a scan of a sales brochure B5 blue. My parts shelf in the background is the same color. The accent stripe on the wall of my shop...
I have been working in my shop for 10 years wanting a rolling tool cart. I use CAD in my job so I knocked out a quick print of what I thought...
Happy thanksgiving from the Pacific northwest.
You don't mention carburation or PCV. A vacuum gauge would be helpful as well. Needing that much initial in not good if it is true initial. My...
