Aha !! Found it.

I had saved just the forum section to my favourites, so never saw the home page.

I see there is a bloke called Jori in Scandanavia with a 59 Monterey like mine. Cool.

First congratulations on your ride, she looks great, If the motor comes out lookin like the rest of the job you have done your on a winner old mate. I am curious about the trans in your car is it a Cruisomatic or a FordoMatic? I  am pickjing a Cruiso but only guessing...

I have almost finished my Y block for my 1957 Fairlane 500 Club Victoria and have attached a pic for your inspiration. You have come to the right place for tech advice, I found the posted threads very handy for research on my engine.
