I like the new rod idea as well.  Sounds like a great alternative for now.

I hope scat comes thru in the future, as an affordable stroker crank would really help in the power department.  I'm a true believer that max cubes really wake up a Y.

I have a moldex billet stroker with a main girdle in my black car.  They really make a nice piece. I have never had an engine with such good oil pressure in all conditions. The crank and first class machine work must be right on.

The new rods came out really nice, getting over 300 inches out of a  272 or  316 inches out of a 292 sure got a lot easier.

     Now  what is on the back burner John a new Big bore  block would be nice  with about 4,125 bore!

No plans from us to do a block.  They seem to be one of the best original parts of the engine.

Sm.Blk: (Verne) Schumann Sales & Service, floated a new block proposel some time ago...it died on the vine.  The cost & logistics just aren't feasible. A former casting person on this site, said just start up costs would at a minimum be some $200, 000... The Y-block has had many parts & design improvements in recent years, with impressive results. But it is what it is, a vintage engine..love it or leave it!
