Techie, actually not,they (Y-block) were carried in the Ford and Merc line up through 1962 and in the trucks t il 1964. But You are right. They are hard to turn into high HP motors. But,,,,,,,, her 256 with 312 heads, an after market cam ( they only used solid lifters, no Y-block was ever drilled for Hydraulic lifters), an after market intake (yeah you can still find them) and electronic ignition using a 57 and later distributor and Petronix, is a decent street driving motor. So, you go, Diana, more power to you.Last edited by Oldf100fordman; 05-01-2005 at 08:23 PM.
