Just joined today, and wanted to introduce myself, and my latest project. She's a '56 Vicky, and has been in a barn since '81. Time hasn't been exactly good to the car (boy, can I relate!), but I figure someone needs to save her. I was told it was a 312, but I don't know for sure. Once I figure out how to confirm it, I will. Engine isn't stuck, so that's always a positive. Also, I just picked up a '57 292 2-bbl and automatic (Fordomatic?) for it. Fairly fresh rebuild on the 292, so it will likely go into the '56 before the "alleged 312" gets rebuilt. I'm mechanically inclined, and have owned over 300 vehicles. This is only my fourth Y-block (all '56 Fords).
Anyways, I'm looking forward to chatting with those who are far more knowledgeable on the Y-blocks than I.
Best regards,
Squatch
