Awesome job Ted, Congratulations! A new benchmark for Yblock performance. And congratulations John Mummert for designing the parts that made it possible



Jerry and I worked hard for 2 days to get his engine together and we finally fired it Sunday at noon.. We had some electrical problems (new MSD coil was bad) but finally we got it running and were breaking in the cam and warming it up when # 3 cylinder went dead. Pulled the valve covers and found one pushrod dropped off the adjuster. We figured the adjuster had backed out so we replaced the pushrod and tried to reset the valve clearance. After the adjuster ran out of travel we looked down in the valley and noticed the lifter was deep down the hole. We are speculating the foot of the lifter broke off, but after 3 long hard days neither one of us had the energy or enthusiasm left to tear it down to check.. It's too bad because on Monday EMC called and offered a Wed afternoon slot .



Oh well maybe next year.. How about a EFI Y Block entry

Great job Ted!, and everyone else that's involved.

It is still amazing to me to hear how far the y has come after all the years of ignoring it by others.

What an awesome job and great amount of effort.

With Wednesday behind us and the smoke clearing, the Y entry is still in tenth place.  Up to this point, there has been thirty engines run with the remaining ten running tommorrow.  Tony Bischoff laid down a more than impressive score this afternoon with a late model Mopar Hemi that literally shook the building.  There are still some heavy hitters running tomorrow (Thursday) so I expect the Y entry to lose a few more places before the qualifying has ended.

The team and I are still more than pleased with this years Y entry though.  The Y engine was finally taken out of quarantine earlier today and We'll pack it back in the truck sometime tomorrow.  I'll try to post some more tomorrow evening as at that point the final placement will be finalized for all but the top six.

Kind of brings a tear to your eye to watch that old motor still make that sweet sound when working.
