| That is a very cool car and there aint nothing like an old race car with a history i loved reading about shady goings on on race cars i had heard about Big daddy crawling out of a crashed race car to cover something on the engine. I built alot of parts for my Brothers Blown inj Flathead powered Altered (i know not a y block but very cool car. T on model A chassis (9.47 @138mph on Alky) including solid billet heads. When we raced and had an audience in the pits we would start talking B/S about parts that didnt exist and whether we thought they were working on the last run or whether they needed tuning incase there were spys in the crowd it was a bit of a laugh. What configuration engine do you have planned are you going to keep it authentic to the origonal or go abit further? Good luck with the car. I plan to build a blown y for my 28 A tudor Should be fun Cheers from NZ
Y blocks rule. New Zealand has heaps of cool ones from stock to wild, tri power to Blown, pump gas to nitro yee haa!!! long live the mighty Y Block |

| Hi everyone,....
Thanks again for all the interest, I have been sick for quite a while and haven't been on the computer for like 4 weeks,..... just a little update that I find hard to believe myself,... I might have stumbled across the original 312 that was bored and stroked out to 327 c.i.d.,..... I have yet to see it , but from what the guy tells me it sounds like it,... I have a couple clues to go by when I finally get to see it,..... this project just keeps getting wilder by the minute.

| Yes,. I am originally from the Detroit area and have lived in Michigan all my life, I am a member of the MHRA, Road Knights. I have been into Hot Rods for a lot of years,... but this car (and a unfinished 57 T-Bird) is the only cars I have with a Y-Block.

| thought so, someone told me. or I read that you'd done radio in Detroit. I was originally from there. We're all really watching this, maybe one of the neatest projects concerning Y Blocks in a long, long time. I, personally can't wait to hear and see it run!
