Looks like it wound up in 14th. Not bad at all. The number of DNFs seems high this year.

Charlie, according to my figures he wound up in 16th, but there were 5 other teams within 28 points. Anyway it is an amazing accomplishment. The alum heads really woke that baby up.

You're right.

Just an absolutely outstanding effort guys, with numbers that should wake up the disbelivers.  I've been a Y-Block fan since I could see over a fender and like the latest wave of hi-tech vampire movies.....we're BACK!!!!!

The Y entry did indeed finish at #16 with a 2205 points score.  In peak Horsepower rankings, it finished at #13.  The top six rerun tomorrow (Friday) for the final placement of the top six.  Detonation took its toll on quite a few engines this year with broken pistons, blown head gaskets and the such.  The Y entry came through all this with the original tuneup with zero issues.

Here's the link to the video again that Charlie previously linked to.  This video was put together by Neil Elliot of the Car Shop of Temple, Texas.  The team besides myself consisted of Neil Elliot, Jody Gunter, Jody Orsag, and Harry Hutten.

GREAT JOB  Ted and crew! I guess I missed it, how many cubes?,,,,,any speculation on power with better fuel?

Just watched the video, have to admit it brought a tear to my eye.  Great job, guys.  You beat 24 of them.

Congratulations to Ted and Crew and the little engine that could and still CAN!! The motor continues to validate what we all have believed for a long time. 

Ted, would you be willing to speculate on similar or slightly higher specific output with a smaller package say in the 320 to 340 CID range? Such an engine would require somewhat less exotic pieces. Also were the heads as cast or were they tweeked by you or John or a Divine hand?

I noticed a lot of the other competitors were running the FAST setup.



Would it be possible to run the FAST setup on the Yblock or would the stacked intake configuration be to much to overcome for installing the injectors.



Would be real nice with crank position sensor and the rest.

Not thinking of it only for competition but for street use also.



Again! Congratulations Ted and the crew well done!!!

Congrats Ted and crew and John Mummert and staff for waking up the Mopar and scrub world with a 56 year old design that gets even better with age.

Like John F said, it gives you a great feeling to watch that video, kinda like watching one of your kids doing great in a sporting event. 

Again congratulations to All involved in this great stage of the Y-Blocks rebirth.
