Guys, are there many y blocks available for rebuild in Europe?

  Dennis in Lititz PA

Well... in my garage there is five blocks and six cranks and three sets of heads, in jyrkis garage there is about the same amount of things, and also Simo has two engines and Tero has more than several engines in his garage. Oh, I forgot those four blocks that are stored at my work.... We had quite a lot Fords over here at the fifties and sixties and lots of trucks too. Most of those y-blocks were in fire engines and we have been collecting those for years. Say, five to ten years back nobody wanted those and we got them cheap. Nowadays people call us from time to time and try to buy our parts sources empty with no luck .

What are the differances between the new engine and the old,(besides the window in the block) Sounds good so far.

Stiffer valve springs,lighter valve geometry, a new engine management system,153lb/hr injectors...


Hyvinkää, FI

Lighter titanium valves and retainers. Hopefully more rpm and speed at the finish line. Last summer we never went past 6000 rpm at the end. Still 232 km/h (144 mph) and 8.885 as last season best result. In 2012 our best result was 8.723 and 150 mph and even then the engine didn't rev past 6000 rpm... Industrial engine at it's best ! So, if get it to 7500 this summer... or even more?

Injectors what we used in last season had calculated max HP-value about 650HP, so they didnt work properly at the end of the track and old engine management system was too slow to tell us that with ~1 hz logger.  9 logging moments in quarter mile with old box vs. over 900 with new.


Hyvinkää, FI

And that 650 hp was calculated with E85 fuel what we are still using. No Meth for us yet .
