I appreciate when people care enough to go against the trends and build an original era correct engine, and era correct speed equipment is pretty cool too.
Great to see other guys posting vids of Y Block work - not much out there n RUclips, keep it up! The 239 was actually in the 55 F100 although it was the EBV variant. Gotta love those little Holley 94’s - easy to work on and tune. The throttle shaft bores like to get a little wobbly but it’s all good. They look good on a 3 deuce setup too.
Good stuff man. Oddly enough I have a 239 in my 55, but it's an F500 (yellow block). In the cars they only used it for that one year, but they tossed all the leftovers in the trucks. I was really hoping it wasn't a 239, but it was free, so it was worth it.
damn that ebu looks good in blue! wanna try and rip the 13 tooth gear off my 54 and stick it on one of the newer speedway units, and kanter auto claims to have new 13 tooth large bearing cam(s?), gotta give em your core though
Be very gentle with the torque on those front bolts. If you used a thread chaser on the holes, and well cleaned bolts, use a dab of sealer on the threads and keep the torque down to 20 or less. The broken parts can be brazed back on, or welded. The front bolt on the exhaust likes to break easily too.

Nice job, guys! I've got a 292 rebuild coming soon.
Thank you!
These engine s run for ever with oil change & zinc additive 🇺🇸

sounds like a beast
The trucks used it in 55 as well, but I think the heads were a little different.
There is some welding rod for intake
Nice yblock

@@minnesotamotors nice. I keep my car stash up in Zimmerman if you ever need to make content and need a vehicle. And I don't have crapmobiles.
@@DumbCarGuy I’ll keep that in mind!
Do you know if the intake manifold on a 61 292 is single or dual plane.
Not sure, sorry!
All factory intakes from 54-64 are dual plane. All older after market and the 2 new currently being made are dual plane also.
Nice.

If you need another Y block let me know .. I'll be selling mine before too much longer ..

Don't ever paint a Y block Ford blue. Not one Y block was ever painted Ford blue in the US
