Most of us probably get catalogs from companies like Speedway Motors. I order some odds and ends from them occasionally - nothing Y block only, but some of the hardware and speed parts. Over the past few years, there Y block inventory has grown. And today, I got my new catalog (#292 to be exact) - check out page 251. It has one whole page of nothing but Y block only parts. It has a few glitches like an upside down fuel pump photo, some erroneous information about Y block years, etc. But I think all this means that times are changing. The Y block is becoming more and more accepted -- you know the big parts suppliers (i.e. Edelbrock and their announcement about remaking a 3 deuce manifold) would't be advertising all of these parts if they couldnt' sell in volume and make money. All of this is good to see though.
