Hi, I'm Randy from Vancouver and bought a 1957 Custom a few months back from Oregon. It's a 272, automatic that has been totally rebuilt, so it
shouldn't be giving me to many problems (I hope). I had plans of running a 351 or bigger engine,but I saw this magazine with an article article called the
"E-code encounter", and that really changed my mind. I've had quite a few performance Fords and still own a Boss 429 Mustang. I'm new at this y-block
thing,so there are a few quirks I'll have to inquire about I'm sure. Anyway were heading off to the beach, theres a massive heat wave all through the northwest
here and the ocean sounds like the best place to be.

Hi Randy welcome to the forum, glad to hear you are keeping the Y. Steer clear of those scrubs motors. Make use of the search section of the forum and you will find a lot of helpful and sometimes obscure stuff. Some very cluey gents here.

Welcome Randy. I have a 57 Custom also and two other Y's along with KK1940 69 Boss. What is the KK # of your Boss? Are you on the Boss Forum?

Yes, welcome Randy. I have a basically stock 57-4 Dr. Ht. (Town Victoria, model 57-A). And live about 30 Km out of Vancouver B.C. Possibly we can connect sometime..

Sure, I just got the car through the provincial inspection, now I'm hoping to get a collector plate for it.
I need an air cleaner assembly for it and it will probably pass for collector status.

Randy: the needed air cleaner, is that for a stock 2 barrel? If so, I might have a source..
