This may sound crazy, but can't get a yes without risking a no. My Dad's restoring a 55 F100 and looking for a 272 or 292 for it, since it came with a I6. I see what you have here and was wondering if you would have any interest in a go cart that I have $2500 invested in. It's 5hp, pull start, Carter Brothers Bigfoot from the early 90s.

I am selling the setup to put something bigger ... Looking at a 460. I have no problem with it just that it does not feel right as a daily driver. I also think that if someone want to do a restoration for show it would be perfect for them.

Ford apparently originally used that setup so as to not have the expense & bother of different exhaust systems with regard to transmissions, clutches linkages etc. However, in a test of several exhaust setups done by our moderator Ted not long ago, the old crossover exhaust system finished dead last in efficiency...

I am sure those low compression, small valve heads in those Y's help out the low end values.

I had a 63 F-100 with the same set up. It seemed to have enough power and it ran great.

I'm surprised to see a 1960 engine still equipped with that horribly inefficient single exhaust crossover setup. Just going to a decent dual exhaust setup would give more power, if that's what your change is about?

Good luck with your sale. You may also want to advertise on eBay and/or Craigslist.

Located in Suffolk, VA...... Complete 1960 Y 292 Ford engine and light duty 3 speed transmission. 2 barrel Holley carburetor with original breather cover. Fully functional I drive it everyday to work. Engine and transmission were overhauled approx 6 years ago and have less than 3000 miles on both. Will be removing to install something different. Engine will be available in approx 4-6 weeks. $2500 obo. Buyer must arrange all shipping. I will not ship but have a freight drop point close by that we can use.
