Hi,

I'm new to this forum. Just bought a '56 F-100 with a 312 c.i. Y-block. It's unrestored and in driver condition. It needs some looking at initially, and some restoration down the road.

I live in South Orange, NJ, (Essex County). I'm looking for a nearby mechanic and also a restoration shop. Any recommendations?

Also, are there any enthusiast clubs in the area?

Thanks,
Steve

There are plenty of East Coast members. Richard Stuck, Charlie Morris, NJ. Chuck Cline in NH, Charlie Brown in NY and a number of others. Some of these guys are active on Facebook's Y Block site.

There is probably someone in the business of repair work closer to you who knows Y's but I am confident in recommending Olde Town Motors in Sikesville Md as a shop fully conversant with Y blocks. Ask for Frank.
