Co-Administrator Group: Administrators Last Active: Yesterday Posts: 7.3K, Visits: 204.6K	It’s now official. I have been notified that I’ve been selected as a competitor in the 2015 Engine Masters Challenge. Here’s what the current engine lineup for the Vintage Engine class looks like for this year. Vintage Kustom Kemps Packard SAM’s Chris Bennett Mopar 318 Poly Buck Hinkle Mopar 318 Poly Ted Eaton Ford Y-block Jon Kaase Ford Y-block RB Vintage Engines Ford Y-block RB’s engine is actually a Lincoln Y-Block but close enough to call this year’s Vintage Engine Class a Y versus Poly shootout.
