If I want to drive it next summer it will have to stay small block powered so saturday I am going to look at a 60,000 mile 1970 351-W to use while I get the 292 rebuilt,I really did not want to do it but it will give me time to build the 292 the way I want it and will have use for the 351 in my 65 custom 500 when the Y block gets installed in the 55. The 351 that is presently in it has a severe noise and do not trust it for another Florida trip next year,I think it has pistons slightly hitting the heads and no way I can fix it in the car and since that 351 is built from miss matched parts I will probably end up using it for parts,that noise has probably been in there since the beginning and just now noticed it after I got the driveline quiet and the motor spinning a little faster with the 3.00 gears and lucky it made two trips to Florida. It still might get a Y block sooner if I can find one that I can drop right in but I doubt I can find one.

Butchering up everything I can get my hands on in Dayton Ohio
