    i've been into yblocks since i was 12 years old,i've run them on drag,stock car tracks and the street.the big mistake they made with the 312 was when they made the 312 crank the blocks were milled out for the bigger crank they removed the metal but did not move the main bearing bolt holes so there is very little metal supporting the bolt holes.they are fine but don't run them hard you will have fomoco parts all over the countryside.i've always ran 272's and 292's with greater success.check out the y-block book its still avaible on amazon.

    get rid of the single exhaust,install duals and run smitty glass packs they sound great on a y-block.
