EMC Report                      Rick Martin , Bob Martin and myself just returned from Lima EMC site. The order of finish     # 1  Kaase
                                                                                                                                                                                             # 2  S. A. M.                                   
                                                                                                                                                                                             # 3  Ted

                                                                                                                                                                                             # 5  Packard
Ted was only 60 total points from the SAM # 2 spot that is a couple of H.P. & torque #`s out of second .Ted & Royce done us very proud .Royce had a lot of interest in his engine especially with the Turnpike Cruiser valve covers  The Kasse engine was something to see, pictures will never do it justest. If he only used 10lb .of rods he made good use of them because there was major mods. made all  within the rules because the only Tech item was cubic inch claimed.
The reason for incorrect reporting is trying to determine scores from the screen shown is hard as it is not left on very long.      Harry Hutten

Congratulations to all who fielded an engine, the amount of technical understanding work and organizational skill are truly awe inspiring. And of course special thanks to long time friends of the Y Block Ted and Royce who are definitely not picking an engine to fit the class but making the Y fit the class.  Ted's engine is obviously much simpler and more practical than some of the others.  I did not find on HRM's site anything about Royce's engine, is there something there?
The HRM coverage of the event was as usual snarky about Fords, especially Y's and filled with mis-information.  Is HRM owned by GM or what?

Ted and Royce have plenty to be proud of, Competing against Kaase is tough, lots of money and equipment to build what ever he needs.  I wonder if Royce is thinking tunnel ram now.

THANKS for posting that, Gary.

Ted's performance and Royce's were EXCELLENT.  We'll all be interested to hear what they put together in their engine builds.  As has been said earlier, some of the EMC reporting is incorrect.

For those of us that have not followed John Kasse, I found the article that follows on the Internet.  Click the link if you're interested in a profile of his performance engine operation.

Kasse, Ted, and Royce have breathed new life into the y-block story.  That said, John Mummert has provided THE cylinder heads that have revolutionized the capability the 'little' y-blocks fielded by John Kasse and Ted.

Kudos to all of the vintage category EMC participants on their accomplishments.  WoW!  What a showing!

I think Kaase ran his Y block in two classes and that is why its mentioned having two HP stats.
477Hp cut off at 6000rpm Vintage class
600HP, well that's peak HP and has been compared to LS engines having a greater Torque figure and what 50 plus years have done for the V8.
John I think your heads really opened the worlds eyes on the old Y.

But The EMC site is shocking and hoping Genuinerod is right

Going by the formula of Engine masters (torque + HP x 1000 / cu. in.= score.   Ted wins.  The way I figure it is Ted: 3075, Klaase: 2943, the poly eng: 2769. 

Very interesting reading. With the Ford Y-block being wider at the manifold/head split using adapters to a narrower manifold makes perfect sense. John Kaase must have read the rules really close to figure on changing the intake port design within the confines of the head. Aluminum sure makes this easier. If that was not allowed and no aftermarket aluminum heads were allowed I'm sure he would have picked another make: Lincoln/Merc would have been a better choice just because of head design alone. I did think they (L/M) would have made a better showing. I also would like to see a single carb or throttle body of no more the 4 holes/venturi.
I feel Ted did us true Y- Blockers proud and he has proven again how stout these Fords are....Thank you Ted.
