Fellas, here's a couple photos of the work in progress. The ECZ 292 block was pulled from a 55 parts car (very solid Town Sedan that has donated its good metal to a Sunliner) and is in the process of being completely wire brushed after a good degreasing. The picture does not do it justice - I actually spent an hour going over every inch of this beloved Y.
The reason for the teapot info - I do have the small 2 barrel to go on this thing, but it would be nice to have a teapot underneath a paxton blower bonnet with that mcculloch on that bracketry we spoke of (see my other past posts). I will try to get a hold of Conley of Paradise Wheels again to pick up a few pieces.
The other shot is of a test stand that I bought from Eastwood up in PA...got to get going on this thing - the CVA show (crown victoria association) takes place late this month!
I have a good bellhousing I have cleaned up - and the motor will have some "bling" 
such as the chrome valve covers with the chrome decals (ford interceptor) on it. The color - actually I plan to spray a Hemi Orange followed by a light coat of the Ford Red. Blends and looks good I think...
Will keep the updates on the site...Hopefully I can get the engine done in time. yes, that is my 6 year old's go kart in the background
