Title: News Flash !! Jon Kaase builds Y Block for engine masters
Post by: Royce on April 04, 2015, 12:58:56 PM
Yes it is true... This should be a coming out party for the Y block as a serious performance engine.

Jay, You  could be on the ground floor of the inevitable swelling of demand for performance parts

Torque of a locomotive rpm of a die grinder

Whoa
You sure it's not still April 1st?
Wonder if Mr. Mummert will have anything to say about it. As in, an entry.

I can see this one coming...

2015 EMC dominated by Y blocks - Kaase, Mummert, Eaton, Brechler finish 1,2,3,4...

Over/under ports to be illegal for 2016....

Don't forget factory mushroom lifters (banned by NASCAR), and every one's a sideoiler!

Excuse my dummy ness but does the Y block use the same stuff as an FE? I have a few flat head truck and car engines but do not even remotely resemble an FE. Was the Y block a transitional engine???

Nope, they are completely different engines.  As in TOTALLY different...

Some would say it is not a transitional engine, but a transcendent one..

I have heard The laws of physics do not apply to Y Blocks

Hey Royce.
As far as you know, was there ever a roots type blower manifold for a Y?


Edit
Never mind I just found one.
Time to research.

I've got a project that I'm collecting parts for. :)

Yes there were/are, both 471 and 671.  I know of one sitting in a barn near Montgomery Mn..

There is also a new one available from Australia.

Y not ask Y not?

Wonder what kind of weird mods will show up, in the past we've seen super thick copper head gaskets, special coatings inside the intake manifold and headers with 16 primary exhaust pipes.
