Well after talking to 5 differtent engine builders in Northern California 2 said they are not taking on any new builds for 3 or 4 months and 3 said what's a Y-Block, I called Ted Eaton. After talking to him and reading a lot about him I figured he was the best builder to go with. The engine left last Monday, and 8 weeks or so I can get back together. The 312 is going in a body off restoration in my "wife's" 56 T-Bird that I am doing myself (except the body paint)
I will update as i go, back to sand blasting parts.

Ted  will build it right. He knows Y-Blocks better than anyone and is a great guy to deal with. Bought a set of Sharp rocker arms from him a while back and basically copied an engine build he had in YBlock magazine . Talked to him today with a question on valve adjustment specs with the Mumert heads. Always helpful and fun to talk to.
