Cool Cool project, when I was in high school they had a 292 Y block for the class motor, it had been there since my older brothers were in high school 10 and 15 years before me. we never had projects like this though, but I have been a big influence on several of my nephews as far as projects go but their fathers were scrub guy's and I havent converted them to y's yet but I am working on it.

Dan, I am an ex teacher and I know that from all your efforts on these cars a seed has been planted and will definitely grow from what you have done. It's a great thing for you to do to guide them . I taught math(  . But still seeds were planted and thats what we are supposed to do I guess. Dont ever give up doing what you are doing . Today these kids all the help they can get . Without some one to guide them things get a bit foggy . You and all teachers keep the fog away. Keep it up. Great job! What happens to the car when you finish it?  Earl Dagenhart

Y-Guy Dan       For your info, several of the "mags" have been looking

              for school shop classes to do articles on. "Street Rodder" and I think

              "Popular Hot Rodding" had editor letters expressing their desire

               to promote your type deal. Who Knows, they might pick your

               class to do a story on.......

                                           You might look into it

Hi all-

Havent been in the shop or on the computer since I posted these last pics (I fight fire for the BLM in the summer) so not much to update. I did buy some header flanges (we made one at school but I think we will use these) and have have a friend with a corvair box I need to take off the car. Hope to round up the last bits we will need over the summer and I can hit you guys with a bunch of updates and a running car when school starts again in the fall!

Looks Great!  Can't wait to hear it run next year. 

   God Bless.   Tim                           http://yblockguy.com/
