I found an industrial y block that is in a pavement roller that co0uld be picked up quite reasonable. Does anyone know what differences there might be? I figure oil pans and stuff like that may be different. For example do they have a weird bellhousing or crank flange?...stuff like that.When you say industrial y block, is it a 272,292 type or lincoln truck type 317,332 etc, similar at 1st glance but different familys?

Industrial engines could have some good internals, They normally have the small valve heads with sodium exhaust valves. I have found them with C1TE rods, 4 Bll B manifolds, roller chains for timing gears, heavy duty push rods. forged pistons, The one downfall is they may have the governed distributor carb combo. Have not found one with a steel crank yet.
