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.

John Mummert's site is in the links section



http://www.ford-y-block.com



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.

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.

Alabama being a lot closer to SC than Washington, I would at least look at Glen Henderson's post in Classifieds section and contact him about rebuilders w/ Y experience who are a lot closer than WA.

I would get it done locally to avoid any hassle with long distance shipping.  I'll bet replacement requires that you cover shipping both ways.  That right there is probably $1000.00.  Plus it's always good to keep the local guy in business.

What does the fine print say?

yeah, it's perdy expensive..i mean heck, from ford-y-block.com a rebuild kit is like the same price as buyin it from the guys in washington..it would make sense..if they buy in bulk etc etc, of course it would be cheaper for them...but..i wonder if they're just re-ringing or what-not...being i'm not gonna be riding her hard..i mean..come-on, only be like 220bhp..lol.... i just love the sound...at the same time, if i get someone to rebuild mine..it's #s matchin ;-)...



then again...you are right...you don't know what they put in it, unless i disassmbel it all..and what's the pint in that right..lol



actually it's a 2 year warranty where they'll replace it...the next 5 years they'll sell u another at 1/2 price so....i'm really considering it....

If you send it out of town you have NO idea what they did to it inside.It could be guaranteed for life and I would be still worried about it. Go to the local Ford dealership and ask them for a good mechanic.
