What can one say not to realise it was a rare engine, anyhow now that most can see it close up, other than speedy bills, i have often mentioned that
this head style was also made in cast iron and powered 292 trucks in Sth america. Outside this forum it was just considered a truck engine. We are thinking that after the race programme ended? the heads were cast in cast iron as they had the patterns etc and used commercially and later the windsor style also but just on convential block layout. the camshafts had different lobe layout for the port configuration and just faded into the midnight sun as the years progressed. Now this engine is exposed to the world, hopefully more information will come to light to show how great the mighty Y Block is. Wouldnt it be great for a race programme to turn up with y block car in the winners circle! Ah i can dream?
