I’m so sorry about John passing away he and others that are gone now really helped so many of us learn so much about our favorite engine.it reminds me of the time I was at a car show locally about 20 years ago ,an old guy visiting the area from California talked to me about hopping up and racing the model A Ford ,that was in the 30s and 40s. That generation is gone now and pretty much the knowledge they had. I owe most of my yblock knowledge to the great guys on this site that take the time to help me and others. Thanks to John and others for all you have done and continue to do

So sorry to hear that.  I perused many a post where he chimed in with pertinent and accurate information.

Sorry to hear this. John was a great guy with a wealth of information. He'll be missed for sure.

We’ll all miss John. Dianne and I had a ride in the Hoosier Hurricane from the return road back to the pits one year at Columbus. Pretty neat.

Such sad news, John was always helpful and great to chat to. He will be sadly missed in the y-block world.

Very sad news. I met John years ago at the 2002 y-block nationals. Wonderful guy and always willing to share his y-block knowledge. RIP John.

That is very disheartening news. John was a really good guy with a vast knowledge of the Y-Block and how to make them go fast. I've missed seeing him for a while. I'm saddened at the loss of another of our "experts" who never gave up on the Y-Block. I miss him.

John Feistritzer passing has left me with sad feelings. Another friend and Y Block expert.  Even at our age it still hits a person hard to loose some one you think is still cranking on  "God Bless John"                                                             Harry Hutten Jr.    1960 Mercury        

Ted, thank you for letting us know. May John rest in peace. He will be sorely missed among the Y Block community and on this site. I surely appreciate the personal help he was to me in the Y Block world.
