I took my bird to its first car show of the season Saturday. Los of nice cars there. The time came for the awards and the MC said for the best looking 390 Ford engine the trophy goes to .... and he said my name . I was doubly shocked to say the least. Totally surprised at winning but disappointed for being told I have a 390 engine. As i went to pick up my prize I told the MC that my engine was a 292 y block and he was surprised. He told me he NEVER heard of a Y BLOCK. He didnt believe me. Luckily I had a copy of Y Block magazine and showed it to him . He reluctantly accepted it that I was correct. He  walked over to my car and studied the engine for a few minutes and said "well maybe your right". The guy was as old as I was (63) and never heard of a Y Block. Before I left he was ok with my story. He said " Its still a good looking engine". That made me feel good.  Next year I am going for the best looking "Flattie". If the same judge is there I just might win . Cool!!!!!!!
