There are engine rebuild kits on ebay for about $900.00 from a place in Fla.I would buy the parts from a place you are comfortable with and do it myself. Just because you will know whats been done to it and it will be fun to do it. Speedway motors sells Y block stuff. Mummert has class stuff so you wont go wrong with him . But if price is an issue go to ebay. Find out the Mfg. names for the products and look them up to see if they are worthwhile. If the are then buy from them. I bought a set of lifters,cambearings and isky cam from the Fla. store . Good stuff for my use. Name of the site is Falcon stores. search for Y block rebuild kits and you will get there. Where in Sc are you ? I am in NC.

Also I recently saw this on ebay. Found it very interesting…seems pricey but I know what it cost to get horsepower and a turnkey job. Also I looked at the other engines he has available, which seem like a pretty legit array of FORD's best. Another option or food for thought. BTW i'm not endorsing this or promoting this guy.

Another possible parts source is Schumann's Sales in Blue Grass IA 52726. Ph#563-381-2416. They occasionally advertise in Y-Block magazine, as having extensive Y-block engine parts. Recently they advertised as having the 1957 "D" code, 256 deg advertised, Cam available.

Speedway has been around a long time. just google speedway . Vintage speed in Fla has a lot of parts. Mummerts the best.
