Sometimes, Y-Blocks end on some prety unusual places, and sometime replacing very bad engines. Even though I'm not a Chevy enthusiast, I have nothing against them, they will never be as kool as Fords, but are not bad cars. I do have something against mopars. I really don't like them. They are a endless source of problems, from craked pilars, extreme rust, poor quality, and constant suspension problems (at least here where I live).

I also don't like the sound of the 318 engine, so when I heard a great V8 engine sound comming down the road, the only thing I was no prepared to see was a Brasilian Dodge Cherger (a Dart with some penache).

The reason was simple, the car, even being a basket case, heve being fixed, at least on the engine department.

Take a look!!























I had a perfect day after seeing that!!!!

He needs some Y-Block Forever stickers and a club plate! Too bad he can't come up for the Y-Block Nationals AND the Mopar meet!

While serving in South East Asia it was not uncommon to see engine swaps based on availability. In Thailand the Sergeant in charge of the Royal Thai Police near Udorn drove a 60 Pontiac hardtop. He hung around the club and we often made a run on the town bars together. The car seemed to move down the road just fine! Imagine my surprise when he raised the hood one day and showed me the Toyota 4 cylinder that was powering it. They used the complete engine trans and made some not too pretty brackets to bolt it all in. To them the "American Car" was the important thing! Made him look important to the local Thai officials. Not that he wasn't a big dog in the region anyway!

Just an afterthought buy would you think the "Legendary Ford" magazine people would be interested in an article? Chuck in New Hampshire, USA

Y's guys rule!
Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

The thing about haveing a different breed motor in your car/truck reminds me of a friend of mine from Cuba. They would replace a motor from whatever they could get to run a car. He has a brother-in-law with a 57 Chevy 4dr. that has a 4 cyl. Perkins diesel tractor motor from a Ford 5000.  Said he get unbelievable fuel economy with it. I like the Y in the Mopar thats pretty good.

Tulio: Cute! I wonder how effective that tiny little air cleaner element is? And Tulio, remind the owner to keep the screen clean, in that rather small oil filler cap, or the engine will sludge up...
