Hey everyone just wanted to introduce myself and say hi.... Been building a 62 big window unibody for the last 7 years. Y block with G heads, Reds headers, High ratio rockers, custom valley cover, blue thunder intake, and MSD Distributor. It's all backed up by a 94 T-5. Love it to death.
Next project on the books is the hottest Y I can build in a 50's drag car. We shall see, I'm young.
My name is Greg and I am addicted to Y's.

That's a nice looking truck, Greg. I am interested in the details of the T-5 install. I plan to start on a swap in a couple months.

Hey Greg, Nice job on the engine compartment. I like it a lot. One suggestion though-you might consider some factory style sprk plug wiring looms. That way wires are down below headers, off the valve covers and won't be in the way when you remove valve covers to reset the valves. + it cleans it up even more. How about a shot of the whole truck! What is the color with the yellow - Is lt gray or silver, can't tell exactly but it looks great.

Those factory looms are a real pain to do (ona car) but when they are done it really makes under the hood neat. The last time I did it, the motor was out. Gerry

Forgive me for being young and ignorant, but what do the factory looms look like? I've torn a few Y's apart now, but most haven't had any wires. I had considered running the wires under the headers, however, it just felt looked like it would be too hot? Any pictures? Thanks-- greg

Hi Greg; Get a catalog from Larry's T-Bird . They have a picture and the brackets for the wires. www.larrystbird.com, or any of the suppliers. Hope this helps God Bless Eddie
