Replace Flathead with Y-Block?

42Merc - shame this forum doesn't have "like" buttons - you'd have got one. You would think hotrodders would be more supportive of someone trying to put together a specific concept. The 292's are pretty good engines and they have a firing order that gives a great sound. How cool is it to have that "OVERDRIVE" handle under the dash! Modern oils pretty much cure that top end oiling problem.
