Has anyone put a Y Block in a 50 Ford Shoebox? I am picking up a new car this Sun and am thinking that it would be cool to stick my spare Y Block in it. Any info or insight would be appreciated.

Tim, the wife and I are both pretty excited about it. The big plus is that I can drive it home. It has a flathead straight six that was just rebuilt in it.

At one time Hurst made mounts that went from a Y-Block truck/T-Bird timing cover to the flathead frame mounts. My older brother's first car was a 51 with a Y-Block. Bought it not running with a "312". Turned out to be a 239. It was too big a project for a 15 year old and was sold still not running.
