Didnt see a place for intros but I assume one is in order. My name is Dan and I teach Auto Shop at the local high school (11th year teaching, 1st year in the auto shop) To say I am having a blast is an understatement! We have a '27 T project in the shop that we are going to make a trad. style hot rod out of. We plan to use a y-block that we found in our storage shed for the powerplant. I am an absolute novice when it comes to y-blocks but I reallt enjoy the old engines like hemis, flatheads, nailheads etc.

Really look forward to visiting here and learning about the y-block. Will also need to start trolling the classifieds, we are going to need (so far) rear main bearing cap, pushrods and lifters.

Thanks!
