I guess I'm out of touch but I see no advantage of installing a Y block in your car.
Working on a Y-Block in the car can be a tedious task. Especially if you have to remove and replace the hex drive distributor. Do they have solid lifters? Not a user friendly engine.

One advantage would be about twice the horse power of a 239 flathead with a mild 292, if that's what your after.
