Eric, it's definately on our minds. When we start to see traffic in those areas, we'll expand, but our main concern is having a bunch of forums with no traffic.

I think I am the only Y-block around here. I fall into the category "other".

As the site grows, I would imagine that other categories show up. I seriously doubt a Y-block secetion ever does though. Not many of us left.

 

[Skandocious]

Hey Brian I've always wondering what a Y-block is... Is the cam somehow located under the crank? Please 'splain

 

[Brian_B]

Bill would be able to give you a more correct answer than I can. The shape of the block (looking at the front) is more of a "Y" shape than modern blocks.

They have a very small oil pan too.

I can't find a picture of the bare block. Maybe these will help. I swiped them from another site, cropped the site logo off, and put them on my photobucket. LOL

 

[Brian_B]

Found a few more pics on the Y-block site. Maybe you can sort of see the shape of the block itself:

If you notice, the block comes down and cases in the sides of the crank. The crank doesn't hang down in the oil pan.

Dare I say it...........The head configuration in the exhaust ports is like a small block Chevy

 

[O'Rattlecan]

no, no, no. you got it all wrong. The small block Chevy is like the Ford exhaust ports.

Yes....you dared.


There is a nasty rumor that you can split the flange on a set of SBC headers and bolt them to the Y-blocks. I never had a junk set of headers to play with to try.

Regular headers and "rams horns" are about $400 a set.

no, no, no. you got it all wrong. The small block Chevy is like the Ford exhaust ports.

Oh, Yeah, I stand corrected!

 

[surewhynot]

Yup. SBC had to copy old Ford technology.

The facts...according to Ryan....
