I have been doing some research on Y-blocks but engine work scares me. I would like to have my motor somewhere around 300 HP and be able to drive it on the street but also be able to hot rod it a bit. I have a 64 F100 short box with a t-98 4 speed.

Here's what I am starting with. The 292 C2AE motor was overhauled in 2006 and bored .030 over. The build invoice says; cam 010 + 010, heads rebuilt C1TE, surface block and heads, and new pistons and rods. There is no info on part numbers for the internals. It currently has a 2 bbl carb on it. There has only been about 3,000 mi put on the motor since the rebuild so I think I only need bolt ons.

I am planning on putting a t5 in it and I have a ECZ 9425 B intake. I know that these two upgrades will improve it quite a bit but the power band is so low from about idle to ~3,000 rpm. I do not have a 4 bbl carb yet.

Any suggestions will be very helpful.
