Thanks for posting those Slick, that's some interesting work down on those heads. I'm wondering how effective it was.

You know I've been a Y-Block fan since I bought my 57 convertible back in 1959. But for some odd reason I can rarely remember seeing them in race cars or hot rods in the 50's and 60's. Thanks for posting these ads and pictures they are a reminder of what I seem to have missed. I guess the Kansas City area was having a scrubfest or something. Chuck

From the June 1965 issue of Popular Hot Rodding.




August 1965 issue of Popular Hot Rodding.

I have seen current photos of the Blue Bird coupe and it is totally changed now with a BBC if I remember correctly.

The photo with the Y and flathead powered roadster is from the 1966 Australian drag fest as is the photo posted below. Both dragsters appear to be "Y" Powered.



More from "Down Under" this roadster still exists pretty much as it is seen here in the July 1963 issue of Rod and Custom.

The BLUEBIRD Injected coupe is y all time favorite. I look back at the pics of it all the time.Once was a time I would have liked to recreate that one. I think the original is gone or seriously changed now.

I've never seen that 55 Car before. Interesting to see all they did to it back in that day. Wonder what ever happened to that one? Definitely an early sleeper car.
