I took a brief look at the '57 Ford International site a few days ago..Long ago, I was registered with the previous 1957 Ford.com. site. Unfortuntately, it never worked at all well & was discontinued.. Anyway, in the discussion area of the current site, I was quite disappointed to note that several of the postings were about "ditching" their original Y-block engines, in favour of a variety of other engines, some possibly not even Ford built.. I have to assume that many of these people haven't been informed or become aware of the more recent engine upgrades & knowledge, with respect to our favorite engine.. It would be great if someone of influence, would try to dissuade some of these turncoats from ruining the originality of their '57 Fords. After all, 1957 was the peak year in performance, before Ford unfortunately decided to detune & relegate the engine to being it's base V-8.. . Any thoughts on this?
