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?

The 303" Y dropped to sixth place during the final day of  running for the 'Early Iron' engine class.  Jon Kaase was favored to win overall but his engine was also down on power at this competition and he ultimately ended up in third place.  His placing third dropped the 303" Y to fifth place.  There were four SBC engines running Wednesday and three of those trailed the Y in points but one of them did manage to squeak by the Y which put the Y in sixth place.  As of today (Thursday), the final scores and placement of the engines are pretty much fixed.  The winning engine will be torn down today and assuming all is good with that, the remaining engines will not be required to be disassembled or torn down.

The placement of the top six engines are as follows:
390 Ford - Blair Patrick
289 Ford - Geoff and John Mummert
427 BBC - Jon Kaase
396 BBC - HInkel
327 SBC - Adney Brown
292 Ford - Ted Eaton and Joe Craine

While teardown takes place for the Early Iron class today, the LS engines will be running in their own class.  The Banquet will be later tonight.  Joe and I will be heading back to Texas early Friday morning.
