Starting from 2000 I've had a continuous subscription to Y-Block magazine. I have decided to let this vast collection go and first offer is to the Y-Block guys here. I believe I am missing two issues that I loaned and never got back. That's 120 issues! Make me an honest offer and don't forget to figure shipping. I could possibly deliver to Ohio next year at the Y-Block Nationals. I'll give this a week and then go for EBAY etc.. Located in Manchester, NH 03102.

I don't remember Ted and I'm not sure if I want to organize the whole stack. I'll give it some thought.

don't do it, don't give in to the pressure to downsize! You need those magazines my friend! They are worth their weight in gold!

Since Moonshadow brings up letting his Y-block Magazine collection go, my subscription renewal is due.. Time is fleeing on & unfortunately those of us that remember the Y-Block originally, are fading away.. While there has been some resurgence of interest in the engine in the recent past, supported aptly by people like Ted Eaton & John Mummert, it seems to me as though interest & contributions to the magazine & to this site to some degree, have stalled to some extent. Am I wrong? In the case of Y-Blk Mag's Editor, Bruce Young, he is no longer a spring chicken either. How much longer will it be published ? It saddens me to think about it, but it seems a reality.. In my case, my "mentor" so to speak, for the Y-Block engine from many years go, was travelling this spring in Germany, when he took sick with the "Covid 19" & then passed away in hospital with a heart attack.. He was about 2-1/2 yrs older than me....
N.B - just realised this probably belongs under "this & that" if anywhere, but I don't know how to transfer it..

Time is fleeing on & unfortunately those of us that remember the Y-Block originally, are fading away. Sad to hear, but true. There are very few of these cars left. The only possible exception may be the 55-56-57 TBirds. There seems to be no end to these cars in the For Sale ads. Many of the fifties Fords I see these days have small block or FE swaps. I understand why a younger person would prefer a 302 over a 292, but it is sad to see so many. There is something about the sound of a good running Y-Block that can't be duplicated. Thank God this forum still exists.

Since this is the "Classifieds" column, I'll continues my comment over in the "This & Thats" column if that's more appropriate?
