I wouldn't mind a 1955 t-bird running but with lots of body and interior work to do, even a different motor. I saw one not too expensive with a 289 four-speed. So, a bird BEFORE you do your magic on it.

Kent Talley loves the work

Nice video by the way.

I actually have a tool for rope seal replacement with the crank shaft in.Its a small clip, attached to a flex wire and you pull the rope seal over the top of the crankshaft,works really well.

There are tricks to repair the leak without replacing the top half and I have done it with success.

this video is amazing! thank you 🙏

Great video. Are the steering column parts the same for 55 and 57? What length steering column do you use?

I just watched a you tube of this done off the car by John Mummert who installed the pins on the block side where the side seal had a groove for the pin. It appears you can put in the side seal in either direction as long as you put the pin in the groove. I’ve had my pan off 2 times and a flabbergasted on how your engine didn’t have a hint of oil from ever being run.

I have a '58 F350 with a 292. Do they make a kit for the 292? I don't like the idea of hand fitting the steel pins for the side seals. Would copper wire work ?

I cant get my upper rope seal to come out any help would be greatly appreciated

Wow I tried it and it works great. I watched the video a couple of times to get a list of tools because i did mine on jack stands.

is there a difference between 312 in a 292 motor on the real seal replace replacement ?

What's the torque on the 2 rear main seal bolts?

Great video! I've recommended it to several folks so far. Any chance you would do one on rebuilding the fuel pump?

Wondering if you had to replace the studs on the new cap using the old studs. Kit I ordered is missing the studs, I see what looks like blue (or similar) loctite on the studs. Did you guys transfer those from the original cap or did they come new? Thanks, very very helpful video for the home garage mechanic.

Excellent video! Can you disclose the kit used? Thanks!

Excellent video thanks doing one today Wish I had a lift . LoL I

Grace has the same enthusiasm my wife has when I put videos together of my Y Blocks lol!

Love the Holley 4000s! How is this project coming along?

Thank you for the video! ....i did the change of the seal a couple of times on my 57. Unfortunately my crankshaft is not perfectly polished so the Rubber seems to hold just about 2000 km till it starts leaking again. On my 57, there was not need to disconnect the steering. You can rotate the oil pan and get it out out with the steerink link attached. Just remember to pull the dipstik before, because it reaches into the oil pan and gets in the way.

Greetings Ray. Where are you located? I am looking to get a 292 or 312 built fresh for my '57 D Code. Original 312 still runs well, but with 106K miles, compression and oil pressure.... are what you'd expect for 106K.
