Some of you chimed in on my previous THREAD about the Y-block that I picked up on craigslist (sight-unseen). It was a roll of the dice, but I figured the odds were with me to get some decent stuff. It finally arrived yesterday at the truck terminal, and I got it home and nestled into its resting place...

Here's the only pictures I had to go buy after I bought it. My buddy took these at his portland terminal after he picked up the engine/trans for me:

Anyway, here's what I ended up with (I refer to it as a '57 due to the carb and distributor, and the heads):

  • ECG block... 1957 passenger 272. The cylinders seem as clean as my T-Bird, with no ridge, and the engine spins over very easily
  • EDB9430/EDB9431 Manifolds...
  • T-stat housing, intake & carb... broken, cracked (junk)
  • Good distributor ('57-later)... forgot to get the numbers, but nothing special
  • Accesories/brackets...
  • Low ration rockers... again, less wear than what was on my T-bird,
  • ECZ-G heads... This is what I was really hoping for. Still have "Fomoco" stamped on the intake valves. One valve stuck open, but heads look pretty good.
  • T-86 o/d transmission... Spins/shifts freely, R10 o/d unit.
  • Clean bell housing, clutch fork, & starter...

Just thought I'd share what I ended up with...
