I just picked up two Y blocks tonight. One is a C2AE industrial motor (I will have to take a photo of the engine mounts - they make a nice portable test stand) and the other is a B9AE block from a truck that had C0TE heads. I told the seller he could go ahead and keep the bellhousing off of the B9AE block. He decided to pull the flywheel before he delivered it to me, and lo and behold, a crank flange with no dots, no crescents, no squared off lines of demarcation, absoutely smooth all the way around - is it possible? The flange itself looks like forged steel, bit it is really hard to tell. Did Ford ever make another crank with that type of flange?

Anywho, the seller thought I was trying to get over on him,,,but of course, I had no idea because I never saw the flange until he pulled the flywheel (that bellhousing was filled acorns).

Good crank for my blown setup???

The pole barn/garage just needs garage doors, electric, and of course a concrete floor and Y block Ministries is on its way!!!!!
