Y block Lincolns are like Y block Fords, & Gen I SBC - everything interchanges 317-368, 317 has smaller valves, but ports are the same, believe 368 heads had more cc's. 56-58 truck engines had timing gears and a reverse rotation cam, truck engines had forged steel cranks on the 3.66 stroke engines, 302 & 332. 332 is 317 w/ 368 crank. Stroke diff. on engines taken up in the piston like SBC. 3 diff bore sizes 2 diff strokes.

Man it looks like now all I need is a 368 crank or a 332 crank. Any ideas on where to get one. I am trying to make a 317 that gets the job done when needed.

Ted- I'm gonna try to build a 368 using an old Hilborn FI unit I own that came off a 368 years ago.. I'll be looking for a local shop to convert the FI to EFI for street use. Do you have a "build list" of what I should do to rebuild my engine with the best success? I have two engines coming, both out of Mercury cars. It's OK to tell me I'm wasting my time with the Hilborn but I would like to make a real nice piece for my 54 Monterey. Marty

Marty  I can probably help you out with a crank and build advice.. I have  built a bunch of these over the years...Where are you located?

Opps  read the wrong post... Marty I think we have chatted  I ran into a guy who will convert the Hilborn to EFI  Let me see if I can find his webstite.. Hilborn themselves would probably do it, and Kinsler too  but we are talking $$$$$

Puyallup, Washington, just SE of Tacoma.  I'm not looking to set a speed record, just to get the best performance out of a rebuild.

Hilborn will convert their units. Call them. Not for the feint-of-heart $$$. They also have the fuel pumps and electronics..

Marty, I sent a pm. If you can’t open it, post back here.

As a newbie I managed to post a subject on Racing section about parts for a Lincoln 317 without looking here, doh!!
Rather than post it again here, if anyone has any ideas on the parts I need would love to hear from you guys.
