Re: 56 Ford Y-Block powered "Gasser" build
It will work in a 1949-56 car and if the car had a Ford-O-Matic that would be a plus factor because of the gear ratio.

Re: 56 Ford Y-Block powered "Gasser" build

Re: 56 Ford Y-Block powered "Gasser" build
Its been quite on the build. I have been working on the new magazine and its been taking on my brain power. It will be off to the printer in the next couple of days. We are going to try to get the wheel wells cut this weekend so we can get the rear in place to start the ladder bar design.

Re: 56 Ford Y-Block powered "Gasser" build
Looking at a T10 later today I hope, or the next couple of days. It think it will work with the Y bell housing. Going to pull the cover and check the guts, make sure all looks good.

Re: 56 Ford Y-Block powered "Gasser" build
Started cutting on the quarters last night. Making room for the bigger meats. Also moving the rear ahead a little.

Re: 56 Ford Y-Block powered "Gasser" build
Our wheels showed up today. American Rebel MFG. is sponsoring these to us. Made in the USA, my favorite part. Can't wait to see them mounted up on the car.

Re: 56 Ford Y-Block powered "Gasser" build
I've seen that video. Thing sounds wicked. Ours will be very similar sounding with 12:1 and a nasty cam. Do you know who built that setup? I'd love to see how he did the conversion.

Re: 56 Ford Y-Block powered "Gasser" build
I can't wait to see the video of those cool front wheels carried a foot off the ground for about 15 ft !

Yes, it does sound sweet. I have no idea who put that set-up together. Just something I saw on youtube a few years back. To find a complete/useable Hilborn set-up for a Y-Block would be hard to do, not to mention the price. Gotta love the way it gets the revs though. |

scicala:
Based on a lot of tests i've seen and heard about, other than it looking amazing, the injection system doesnt really gain you any more performance than a good four barrel setup. We'll be running a Holley 650 Double Pumper on top of a hi rise intake. Streetdreams: you and me both man.

Re: 56 Ford Y-Block powered "Gasser" build
Got the car dropped off yesterday at Modesto Rod & Custom. They will be doing the ladder bars, installing the 8.75 Mopar rear. They will install our new front axle and set up the front suspension. Cage and tilt front end as well.

Re: 56 Ford Y-Block powered "Gasser" build
I got the steering column and box pulled last night. They will be cutting the frame off soon and start the axle install. Axle is in route now, hope it gets here this week.
Thinking about running spindle mounts up front instead.

Re: 56 Ford Y-Block powered "Gasser" build
Hard to get a good pic right now but the axle arrived from CT last night. Bill Carlson of WAC Customs did an amazing job on it. Guys if you want an axle custom made, give him a call instead of buying that Speedway stuff made outside the US. http://waccustoms.com/ Support you local business men and women.

Re: 56 Ford Y-Block powered "Gasser" build
Been busy, did some sanding on the "Canned Monster" last night, going to be a busy weekend doing more of that.
In the last two days I've had two companies contact me interested in sponsoring the Monster. Working out those details now and hope to officially announce them soon. One for the springs, the other for tires so I'm really excited about that.

Re: 56 Ford Y-Block powered "Gasser" build
Some very good progress sanding today on the Monster. Pass door and quarter are done and about half the trunk. Discovered some good rust holes in the rocker area. Some nice body shop in the past had filled them with Bondo. But, I'm still thrilled with the progress. I've been waiting a couple of years to start this part of the project.
