Vintage class is V-8 introduces 1954 or earlier (except Hemi's) Y Blocks should do really well.

Looks like a 239 could be done for this. They say the block must be from the "family" does that mean a 292 or 312 block could be used? Unlimited bore seems wide open. Chuck
Y's guys rule!
Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

any size Y block is legal.. As long as the family came out 54 and before.. Notice that almost everything is unlimited in the vintage class...

News Flash I just found out Jon Kaase is building a Y block for engine masters.. He has only won the competition like 5 times... This should be interesting... Pity the fool that trys to compete with anything but a Y block in Vintage class.

Interesting. I wonder if Ted's previous entries had anything to do with his decision.

Pity the fool that trys to compete with anything but a Y block in Vintage class. A late april fools day prank, I presume. ...or Kaase is bored to death to porting the inline intake runners.

No joke He might be protesting some of the rules in other classes by running in Vintage.. Y block heads have a lot more flow than any of the other engines that could qualify. I assume he picked the engine he thought he could win with I am sure after studying John's heads and Ted's results he felt the Y Block is a winner

It will be interesting to see what kind of header he comes up with and what intake manifold. I believe there is a lot of power to be gained in these two areas. Will be watching with interest for sure. Joe-JDC

I would love to see him get beat up by an Eaton motor. It's sort of like claim jumping. Guys a great engine builder but no Y's until he thought it would give him an advantage. Ted went up, knowing he couldn't win, and gave them some lessons. Chuck
