Yeah,Whip,one of my favorite little engines has its dissy hanging out its backside,,still might rebuild that Y block,fatten it up a bit and whack a 4sp behind it,,,with the right comp ratio,it will run well on LPG....Either that or the old FE that I was given a couple of weeks back...

Can I vote??

If so, it would be the 'Y' block with a tri power and a blower grind cam. If it's a 312, just make sure you have good main bearing webs. They have a history of cracking - and that's from personal experience as well as from others with that pain.(and I do know where that @#$%^#$% distributor is located)

Y blocks

Once had one bored .175 heads cut 060, dual carters of some Packards(bigger than chevs) the blower cam (B7a-6250-d) ((one of those numbers I'll never forget, like my military number))

Where else is there a motor that you can change the oil pump without draining the pan?

.....and NOW ladies and gentlemen, back to the theme of this post and politically incorrectness!!!!

Hey ain't that our police chief when she was a little girl, in tampa Florida.
HE! HE! HE! Kurt

If you want to look at more then look at Fox News.com

The old ad folks didn't know about political correctness which is crammed down our throats now (oops gettin' political again, sorry Bill)

My sister had one of those Kenwood Chefs mixers,wonder if she still has it and whether it still goes? I think it was one of the first things she purchased when she started working too many years ago. She phones mum today so I will ask her? thanks for the memory..
Wow hand guns that cheap? What year would that be from?

Those Iver Johnson revolvers were as you can see dirt cheap and date from about the late 1890s. My mom had one from when she lived in Houston, Texas - and I do remember it well as I used to play with it as a kid - maybe she saw that ad. A 5 shot revolver, .38cal, break action and nickel plated. It disappeared when she had some home health aids that robbed her home of many items just before she passed away.

From what I have been told,and what little I have read about the ol Y block,I think the 292 is a better bet to fatten up,both John Mummert and Tim McMaster have done some pretty good builds with them,and with a few staunch Y blocks with blowers on them down here,one in a T bucket built about 30 years ago..I think that when the 302W starts to get sad,the stretched Y block will be going back in..

Yes Robin, Bill's T can really scream and just quietly three T's were seen racing between Tirua and Matamata one sunday afternoon not that long ago and the sight and sound of that blower was just amazing and it didn't that that the two chevy powered buckets came 2nd and 3rd.
I asked the sister if she still had her Kenwood mixer and her answer was, heck yeah and I still use it. So Kenwood must of been manufactured in a country before China etc was heard of.
