who has a y-block in their car

There's a 292 in the '59 Ford Galaxie I'm hoping to buy. This will be my first car with a y-block.

 

My sweetie runs a 292 in her Edsel Ranger.

 

Got a rebuilt 292 in my '62 Monterey. Awaiting some upgrades as soon as I collect what I need. Got a 4bbl intake of a '57 Y to replace the 2bbl. Straight pipes, sounds awesome!!!

 

my lady has a 54 merc with a y block. it still runs like a champ

 

Saw a tree trimmer guy at the gas staion the other day filling up his wood chipper with gas, you guessed it a Yblock. Said it was on it when he bought the unit 10 years ago.

Here is my tree man's Y-block, but not in a chipper!!

 

Recently rebuilt and warmed-over 312 going in a '56 Fairlane gasser project. Hope to have it done by next spring.

 

55 272 with stock tranny.....the only thing it really needs is a C4

 

whats the diff between a merc and ford 292?

 

Ford car&truck and also Mercury 292 are all basicly the same. The only differences are the cam/intake and exhaust combo. You can build a 292 engine and put in in a any of them or vice versa. Trucks and cars also have a different engine mounting system and also the 2 seater T-birds too.

I just bought a 55 f600 with a y block but I'm hearing rumors that there are 239 256 and 301 y blocks in these trucks any advice? reply to al at alsrpme@yahoo.com thanks

 

Yes 55s had 239s and 256s,the 300 inch Y blocks were the Lincoln motors in the larger trucks.

 

Have a 292+.030 and a t-5 to go in a '29 coupster project.
