No interest in Y block parts....

they are expanding their Flathead parts for 09.

bringing back the Slingshot manifold too.

Hemi is also coming back in interest along with buick nailheads.

there's a market for vintage parts.



i think if there's enough interest, they should remake a vintage Y manifold.

like the 6 jug log ram or the 573 maybe even the dual quad. even the finned valve covers.

i've seen those go for $400 easy on ebay.

Barry Grant has introduced the Demon 98 as you know.

we've seen more Y coverage in the magazines and Speedway parts has more items for Y's than before.



i think Y's are gaining momentum outside of the Thunderbird enthusiast market segment.

and i think this is a good thing.



anyway,

just my thoughts, - no intention to put anybody down.

This ain't no L-Kamino!

Edelbrock foundry is in the business of casting - just about anything that will fit the core boxes.

i don't see them as a competitor for this product.

This ain't no L-Kamino!

Edelbrock wasn't asked to quote, why would you ask a competitor to quote your work?

    John has found what appears to be a decent pattern and foundry in El Cajon, not in LA which is a 100 miles up the road. Edelbrock has no interest in any Y Block parts and it would be best to keep it that way.

Yeah, but good products usually are not produced when the manufacturer hates the product. It becomes something like hush money, in a sense.

was edelbrock asked to quote these?

its been mentioned here that vic hates the Y, but this

is just business in the end.




This ain't no L-Kamino!

Lorena, Texas (South of Waco)

are these new heads cast in the U.S?

maybe i missed that in all the posts.



thanks. just curious.




This ain't no L-Kamino!

What, if any, type of coolant/anti-freeze, and mix ratio, some of these do more harm than good if incorrectly applied.

Y-BLOCKS ROCK!!!!!

Torque specs for the rocker shaft mounts, inlet and exhaust manifolds might save a few stripped threads

The last two words of your post are music to my ears.  "Different group".  My Stude friend is a 73 year old retired teacher who never has anything bad to say about anybody, but flat out called that guy a liar.
