This year, Ted and I are bringing another Y Block to the EMC.  The rules are quite restrictive this time around, and it will be almost pure Ford Y block.  It is a 292 +.062 and the stroke is 3.310" with 113 iron heads at 10.45:1 compression, Mike Jones camshaft with .591", Mummert dual plane intake, BG 930 DP carb, FPA Thunderbird headers, MSD ignition, belt driven water pump, etc.  We have tried several combination of heads, valve sizes, valve springs, carbs, intakes, spacers, etc., and finally think we have a decent little Y for the challenge.  There will be two 327 scrubys, 2 BB scrubys, 2 FEs, 2 Ford 429/460, Stude, Olds, Buick, Pontiac, 413 Chrysler, 289 SBF. and a couple of others I can't recall.  We are scheduled to run 6th on Monday the 30th.  Any guesses for horsepower and torque?

It is hard to say how the dynos compare because they had unlimited in the compression ratio rules, and then supplied 100 octane Sunoco GT fuel that detonated 5 of 7 entries before they could establish a horsepower number comparable to the 110 most did their dyno testing with.  I pulled about 4* timing out of my engine, and lost 30 torque, 30 hp instantly, but when adding back timing, I lost my head gaskets, also.  Scott Main seemed to think it was a "bit stingy" compared to his before testing, but he won.  Joe-JDC
