Have a fellow in Kansas restoring a 57 F code wagon that his Father raced back in the day. He needs a useable VR57 supercharger.
  If you have or know of one let me know here or on the Facebook pages.

Unfortunatly  I cant help with the parts need, but I am curious to know more about this "F" Code wagon.

Supposedly Frank Stubbs has the only "F" Code wagon known at this point.  So this is a new discovery?

Pretty cool find if its a new item.

I don't know if the car was originally an Fcode. But it was raced that way back in the 60's. His father owned and raced it and the son found the actual car and is attempting to re-create it as it was raced. I thought it was a neat project and offered to help find a blower for him. Says he has all of the rest of the parts so there's nothing in it for me but seeing ( and hearing? ) it. Should be fun. His name is Jennings, lives in Kansas. I did post a photo on facebook, on one of the Yblock sites if you want to see what he's got.

"Other y-block sites"? Would that be the 57 ford site? This is the only "y-block site" I know of, which of course means nothing. I would like to know of more sites. Any links you could post? I know of Tims and Johns, Teds, etc. the more info I can glean from as many sources as I can, well, so much the better.
Thanks

According to info in Y-Block magazine, issue #137, Nov-Dec 2016, John Gambill's "1957ford.com" site has been sold to James Potter's  "57fordsforever" site.
The arrangements were in transition as of then..  (this info would normally belong under the This & That column)

Facebook has two. Guess they're not sites but both a dedicated to Yblock stuff. Also the Ford Barn has an area under late model engines pretty much exclusively Y Blocks
