  Came with a 292 that was supposed to be out of a 1955 bird. Had a 56 block and 57 heads. Is this a 57 distributor? Thanks Paul

Joe, What intake manifold (can’t tell from photo)? Modified ‘B’, or Blue Thunder? BTW: Just wondering, are BTs for the ‘Y’ still available?

Yes, I reworked the heads myself. Ported the BT version 5 with firing order on it. The BT intakes are still available, but have had a price increase. We did the windage tray modification to the EMC 303 Y, and now this 346 Y. It is a 289 SBF windage tray. I ordered the 351W studs for 1/2" mains, and Ted milled the mounting slots to the width of the Y mains, a couple of cuts with a cut off wheel, and it fits quite well. You will have to cut a small amount to clear the pick-up tube, but not a big issue. Dip stick clears with no issues, either. I kept the compression low on purpose so that it would be pump gas friendly. I am glad you had a hard time determining what intake was on the engine, since painting it makes it look like the original Ford, I had another BT, but it doesn't have the firing order on it. Joe-JDC
