That is interesting that they are now willing to make headers for our passenger cars. I approached the gal that owned (and may still own) them very shortly after I put the website online and she flatly told me that they had no interest in making them for the mid 50's Full Size Fords. At that point I think that the site hadn't even hit 1,000 visits. As of one minute ago, we are at 399,968   visits, I guess that they have decided that we aren't going away. Before this day is over, we will pass 400,000 visits and that really is not an accurate number as many of you have bookmarks that send you directly to the forums which bypasses the home page and thus the counter does not know you entered the site.



I am glad to see that they have decided to build headers for us, I had a set of fenderwells from them but as my build progressed along, I decided that I wanted a bit more of a sleeper than could be had with those ceramic coated tubes in my wheel wells!



I hope that someone out on the left coast will come through for us!

It looks like the tables are turning. I seem to remember reading in the not too distant past that Edelbrock had no interest in producing parts either. Now 3-2 intakes are available.

The new interest is great but believe me we will pay for it! Parts are getting harder to find and prices are going up (at least asking price). People are trying to sell junk Y parts at premium prices. Unfortunately the newcomers don't know this and without guidance will buy that 54 type dizzy for top money. We don't have the depth of membership to have the items mass produced so they will remain limited runs. That is why the expense.



Don't get me wrong, I'm really glad the interest is there and looking forward to some of the new things coming down the line. I just wanted to point out that scoring that junkyard Y with all the good stuff is going to get harder very quickly. Look at the prices on EPAY for the small 4bbl manifolds now! And most of the sellers don't seem to know what the difference is. My 2 cents, Chuck in NH

Y's guys rule!

I searched all of Edelbrock's retailers online yesterday again and they aren't listed on any of them. No price or info at all. I have doubts about the availability at this point.

57 Black Tbird 312/auto

They haven't been in the Edelbrock catalog for long. I'm sure it will take a while to get into vendor catalogs. You can always call and ask.

I WAS AT A RACERS TRADE SHOW TODAY, AND THE EDELBROCK DISPLAY TRAILER WAS THERE. I TALKED TO THE REP. AND HE SAID THE MANIFOILD WAS NOT IN PRODUCTION AND DIDN'T KNOW WHEN IT WOULD BE. TOM

Thanks Tom, knowing Jr's past reputation on Y-Blocks, I'd say he's out "PHISHING" to see how much interest (read $$$) they can make.
