I think I'll just stick to what I have and see if I can get that running first. =) I am considering taking the block in to the shop and having it inspected. Maybe check the pistons, pins, bearings etc and replace if necessary. My worst nightmare is putting this thing all back together and having it grenade just because I didn't get something checked 'cause I'm a cheapo.

rexhp.com. They have a supercharger kit for y-blocks and other desirable parts, but they aren't cheap.

F code clone. 471 heads, ported by J Mummert (when he still did that). Brackets by Pegleg. VR 57 rebuilt by Pat F. Kind of fun, can be done other ways.

Some were factory supercharged, F codes. Cost will vary wildly. To do it like the F codes but without the correct parts would probably be cheapest and easiest. To do it with correct F code parts is probably the most expensive by far and best left to restorations. Aside from that, i don't think anyone makes a kit but just about any supercharger could be used, if you can produce the necessary parts and this price, again will vary wildly depending on your own abilities and skills. And then to build the engine with modern techniques and good practices for supercharging would increase the baseline cost for all of the previously mentioned. So no, it's not cheap but to do most engines correctly with quality parts simply isn't cheap..

Negative, sir. No super-charger over here. Although...that would be cool. Do they make super-chargers for these engines? I can only imagine what it would cost to deck one out to take advantage of something like that.

Called ARP yesterday and got all these bolts ordered. They told me that they're all on back-order until late Feb / March. The lady wasn't super friendly, but I guess if I had to spend my day telling people that the parts they want are on backorder, I would be grouchy too.
Guess that gives me time to do all the other necessary bits to the block before the heads go back on. I still need to get that broken bolt out...

go to the closest cat dealer. they have grad 8 bolts that will work. you may have to trim the longer 1s. run a bottom tap down all the threads in the block. use the old bolts for length. I have used ther bolts on several engines. the original bolts ford used some ok ,most garbage when you assemble small dab of grease on each bolt thread

You might try custom ordering from ARP if having difficulty in getting grade eight head bolts elsewhere. Here’s the link to a prior thread giving the individual ARP numbers for the Y head bolts. http://forums.y-blocksforever.com/FindPost162034.aspx
