Look at that torque curve, that thing is gonna come on like a freight train. Awesome!! . Dont know alot about those blocks at .050 is that alot for those blocks or are they thicker than an FE.

I think that's a 525 HP engine if you rev it a little higher, Dean.  Great job!

As with any old block, water sitting over time can rust the liners, and it is always a good idea to sonic test any of them before going very much over standard.  Most can go +.060", but occasionally one is paper thin at +.030".  My 2018 EMC 292 block is bored +.132" after sonic testing and offset boring.  I have two 292 blocks that are +.040" and will be pushing  the maximum at +.060".  One 292 that is going to be good to .+125", so sonic testing is worth the time and money.  Joe-JDC

Thank You Joe!

Nice thanks for the test, pretty good meat.

Dean the Blown 292 must make close to the power your 427 made..  Watch out FEs !  Y Blocks: Torque of a locomotive, RPM of a die grinder. And every one is a side oiler...

I'm shakin' in my boots - not    Royce, I see you are spouting the Y-block party line 

[Stangman]

Dem sounds like fightin words, maybe a 332 FE against a 292 Y bock is in order one of these days!!!???.

[Royce]

I am all in!   I have a 333 Y block itching for a fight

"Its not the size of the dog (motor) in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog", applies here

[Joe-JDC]

Can I bring my "lil" 292 to this competition?  Joe-JDC

[DEANs427]

As for comparing dyno numbers, Jay probably has a couple of my 427 numbers in his archives.
Don't forget to compare these numbers, thick FE 427 block $4000+, thick Y block $100, FE forged steel crank $1000, forged steel $ sign Y crank $200

This does appear to be a call-out, when I first started the Nostalgia, heads-up racing with the gasser I got called out quite often, usually by shiny chebbies, after the first couple of seasons there were not very many call-outs any more...

Joe, bring your Y out for sure !

Great, something else to sidetrack Jay lol. He will never get those heads done
