Tim, Outstanding! you have about 50 "Proud Pappas" watching this. We've waited 50 years to be able to brag about Y's and you gave us the chance. Thanks

Tim, You are enabling our addiction! We've been drag racing with Elwood and running Bonnevile with You and Jake. The only way to make it better is to do it ourselves and for most of us if we could we would. So that leaves us with folks like you, Charlie, Ted, et al to live our dreams. I'm only glad that I get to watch and occasionally contribute a bit to this magnificent undertaking. Someday I hope to be able to come and watch the Y's fly! Jealous in NH, Chuck
Y's guys rule!
Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

Thanks Frank and Chuck! I was talking with Ted this week and thanks to him there should be something to watch for this year at Bonneville from both "Jake" and Keith's '32. Let's not forget Charlie Burns and his new "Yellow Thing".  Exciting times!

Gonna tear into this for Jakes new engine. It's a bit rusty but since I am boring .080" over I hope that wont be an issue. I will post more pix of the machine work as it goes along. I will look much better when I'm done with it.

I finally got that rusty old Y apart, not an easy job as it had been sitting for years outside. I had to pull the crank first then beat the pistons out, most of them lost their heads before exiting. It is a std. bore though and even with a few rust pits I think it will make .080" over. If not I have a back up block, also std. bore and in much better shape. If I don't use it for the Uni the second one will be made into a 309ci stroker (292 +.030" with a 312 crank) with ECZ-G heads that I will sell to help finance this summers racing.   Parts removed, the clean core had a very nice std. crank the other a .020"/.030" with wore out bearings. It also had the ever popular "top oiling kit". bla bla __________________

I've got both blocks cleaned up now and the rusty P.O.S. is not in too bad of shape. I did need to sleeve one cylinder but it was because of a crack not the rust. The crack may have come from me beating the piston out.  One nice thing is when boring for the sleeve (1/8" wall) I went over 4" and never busted into water. This is a C2AE block.
After boring I relieved the block around the intake valves, the old gasket makes a nice mark to follow. Next I will align bore and "square" the decks to equal distance from the center line.

Decked the block. The jig I use squares each surface with the crank centerline and 90* from the other. It's amazing how far off some blocks can be. I also check to be sure each deck is equal distance from the crank center.   bla bla __________________
