@GRLBIRD - Thanks, I have always thought Y Blocks were badass. Always wanted to do a flathead v8 with a three deuce and so on, but they stopped making flatheads in 53', wanted to be correct on the year. LOVE FLATHEADS! Gonna be my next tattoo. Future plans, are finishing the last of the upholstery, paint, touching up dash, detail work, definately getting the motor rebuilt (just picked it up last night). I have disc brakes on there now (granada) will make it easier when I purchase the drop kit.
@Y BLOCK BILLY - automatic, talking about the motor mounts?
@CharlieMcCraney - I first purchased her when I was at a car show in St. Jo, Missouri. $3700. Had $1500 dollars down on her and it was just a dream come true. still have the holley glass bowl carburetor on her, when I first test drove her she was overflowing and so on. pretty easy fix carb kit and it was the needle and seat. The guy had no idea what the hell was going on and I thought I got a good buy for it!
@NoShortcuts - Thank have heard of your club, and we will see.
@TalkWrench - Thank you im excited!!!!!!!!!!!
@CK - Yes it was, when I bought her and as of right now she has the 223 in her and its a cool motor dont get me wrong but man it needs to be rebuilt its really doggy. I love it and am thinking of saving it so if I ever want to do a three deuce on the 223 for something different after the y block. Also, the Fordomatic tranny is of course air cooled like the other "matic" Trannys. It over heats and shit and im done with it. shit pisses me off, last night tho I picked up my 312 and after I am done on here I am going to go start taking her apart!
