Hello all, I justed wanted to share my excitement of finally getting my Tim McMaster built Y-block installed and running in my 1956 f100 big window pickup. The engine was purchased back at the end of March this year. It took a while due to my schedule and some issues getting the engine painted but I finally got it installed and running on 9/29/2010. Here are a couple of photos:

Thanks for the compliments, but it sounds better than it looks, especially with open headers. Todd, thanks...I like your truck too. It has the perfect stance in my opinion. My next project will be a big window fridge cab '57. When I start that project I'm sure I'll have more questions. Tim, I'm proud to contibute to Elwood. Y-block Billy, The headers are Speedway Motors chassis headers. 1 5/8" primaries 3" collector.

Scotty, My son-in-law took video with the truck running on open headers and is supposed to get me a copy. When that happens I'll try to post it...I'm not very computer savy. Thanks, for the nice words. I still have some "fit and finish" work to complete ie. stainless fuel line, new breather, new coil and plug wires etc. It needs some mufflers so I can drive it without getting a ticket. Those are next on the list. Thanks again.

I have a '54 with 239\.o30 over, sanderson headers, 2-1\4" pipes,h-pipe crossover and dual flowmaster 40's. I have re-installed the original valve covers painted red since this pic was taken. ED

YBLOCKED, I have Speedway Motors full length headers, Flowmaster super 40's, and 2.25" exhaust tubing. I haven't got it installed yet...hopefully by next week.
