    Peter who for 60 years was the Y-Block guru in Plano, Texas is closing out. For ones that have visited his shop it was like a Y-Block nirvana. 312 super chargers stacked like cord wood, same with 312 dual quad intakes. A room full of factory left hand exhaust manifolds, Thunderbird dress up parts, and so on forever. We did Peter's body work on "impossible" projects, ones to win best of show and his personal rides. He is 75 now so it was expected but he and his collection will be missed.

    The era of prolific industry to modify our iron 6's and V8's may have peaked,
    BUT the end is farther yet.
    Sorry for the loss.
    Thanks for sharing the word

    What's going to happen to the collection? Auction maybe?
