John McGann's editorial really pissed me off. He starts off by stating that he was not familiar with this engine and had to research the Ford Y Block. He calls it a big lump of iron that couldn't have gone much bigger than 312 cubic inches. He states that it's a marvel that Ted Eaton and Joe Craine were able to make 537.hp and 566 hp with the engines that they brought to the competition.He also makes an issue that they had head gasket failures. At this level, a blown head gasket is not a major failure in my opinion, He states that very few people would ever put a Y block in a serious race car. He should vist this website and read a few Y Block Magazines. He said no one ever puts them in anything that didn't come from the factory with one. How about Falcons, Mustangs, Model A's and god knows what else they are in. He asks how many '56 T Bird owners would want a 500 horse Y Block and states not many in his opinion. He does admit that Ted or Joe could build them one if they wanted one. This clown doesn't have a clue. Been a Hot Rod subscriber for years but you can bet I will give them an ear full when I renew my subscription. The engine that I built for my T Bird a few years back was a copy of a 427 hp 322 CI Y Block that Ted built and did an article in Y Block Magazine several years ago. Runs good and streetable with the factory E dual quads. Still tuning it and haven't got all there is out of it yet but it doesn't have enough miles on it to be broken in yet. Ted and the others out there building Y blocks seem to keep busy building engines. The set up in my Bird, when I get it properly dialed in, would have blown the doors off of 90-95% of the Mussle cars on the road in 1965-70 when I was racing my Bird on the street and strip. Am I the only one not happy with Hot Rod Magazine?
