Ok I do not have much info on Y-blocks. But I do know that Ford had the 239,272,292 & 312 and Lincoln had the 317,341 and 368. Will intakes and exhaust manifolds made for the Ford Y-Blocks fit the Lincoln Y-Blocks? Which of the Lincoln Y-Blocks were Hyd cammed. What parts will interchange between the Lincoln Y-Blocks and the ford y-Blocks?
Thanks Guys

The 317 of 1954 has hydraulic lifters - don't know about the later models. The intakes of that year will not fit a y block as the intakes are side by side, not stacked like a y block. The exhausts have same configuration but I don't know about the spacing. The 317 has a 3.8" bore and 3.5" stroke. I would think that although all these engines look similar there is very little interchangeability between them and the Ford engines. I would think they are not a common engine to get hold of.
Regards

The exhaust manifolds are not a swap, as some guys have found out the hard way. Lincoln RHs show up fairly often on ebay. Rams Horns were on the Lincoln Y's in trucks, 279, 302, (I forget where the displacement went after 302). A later model dist. will fit into an older Lincoln with it's Loadomatic if the dist. gear is changed. Oil pumps are the same. Intermediate shaft between dist. and oil pump same. That is about it. Not even the rocker arms will interchange. The 341 cu in engine was one year only, then it went to 368.

I've got some adapters designed up on the CAD/CAM to allow the Lincoln Ram's horns to be used on a Ford Y-Block. But with the off shore re-pops of the Ford ram's, plus the higher prices and demand of the Lincolns, they never went past proto.

Thanks Guys for the info. I did a little digging on the internet and got so more info on the Lincoln Y Blocks. So I guess my next ? is are there(were there) any Aluminum intakes manifolds made for the Lincoln Y Blocks?

There also was a 302 and a 332 version of the Lincoln engine in F800 and T750 and 850 trucks. If my foggy memory serves me right, the truck version had a gear drive cam, solid lifters. The 332 I drove had a good sized four barrel carb. I read once the Lincolns that dominated the Mexican Road Race had truck cam drives and lifters.

The only aluminum intake I am aware of for Lincoln Y Blocks would be the factory M335 dual quad intake made in 1957 and intended for NASCAR racing with the 368 engine. They are on EBAY from time to time, but go as high as $3K. There is one on EBAY now. The factory single 4 bbl. cast iron intake is about all else that is available.

I think I've seen either Edmunds or Fenton intakes also in 2x4.
