John Mummert is an excellent source of information on Ford y-block engines. John's web site is Ford y-block.com I often reference it because of the enormous amount of information that it provides. In looking at John's web site, he shows the ECL 6015-A engine block as being one of the casting numbers used in 1955 for 292 engines.

As a general rule, all FYB (Ford Y-Block) blocks are safe boring up to a 0.060” oversize bore for non-performance applications. While there are a large number of 272 blocks that have been successfully bored 0.125” over to make a standard 292 bore size, sonic checking those that have survived after running for a period of time found the ...

Nice job, and apparently well designed. Looks like a quality piece. When one runs a roots style (GM or other) blower, unlike a centrifugal huffer ( EG turbo or McCullough) you have a positive displacement device ( think a rotating piston). As there is a significant volume of air/fuel mixture below the blower, a backfire event can develop enough pressure under the …

The starters from 1956 thru 1964 Y’s and the starters from 1958 thru 1964 FE’s are interchangeable with each other. The ‘pitch’ of the starter teeth on the ring gear is the limiting factor for starter selection for the Ford Y and the first six years of Ford FE production.

I checked with the March Performance folks at Good Guys Fall Show in Ft Worth re: their serpentine belt design for y-blocks. I got this message back from the rep. Mr. John Scoggan, I spoke to you at the Dallas/Fort Worth Goodguys Show regarding our progress on the Ford Y block application. Unfortunately, we are having some difficulty with the ...

The tubes were factory installed on every rocker shaft on every Y-Block. People do block off the passage in various ways to pressurize the shafts. If you do choose to do that, then you do have to have a way to ensure that the shaft does not rotate. Tapping the stand and machining a bolt to fit into that hole is one way to do that.

I've used the procedure found in old Ford shop manuals and the Motor's manuals I've got for initially adjusting y-block rockerarms prior to start-up . Basically it has to do with properly positioning the crank damper so that you know certain cylinders are in the position so that both the intake and exhaust valves are closed.

The TBird parts suppliers have them, Mac's might have them as well. There was no sending unit from the factory on the passenger side. Since 54, the temperature sender was always located in the drivers side head. 53 was the last year Ford had the two temperature senders. 54 Victoria 312; 48 Ford Conv 302, 56 Bird 312 Forever Ford Midland Park, NJ
