All 56 Fairlanes that left the factory with Y-8 were a four-barrel,dual exhaust 292 unless a 312 was specified.All other models ordered with a Y-8 were 272s,unless the person ordering it specified a 292 or a 312.What is the first character in your VIN?A letter M indicates a 292,a letter P indicates a 312,a letter U indicates a 272 and a letter A indicates a 223 six cylinder.And 56 passenger cars were not available with a 312 until after March of 56.
