well, it'd look great on this 56 ford wagon i'm doing at work (312/auto car) but i think the guy is running out of $$$...

It would look great on my wall too. But, I am running out of money. There, I talked myself out of it.

Stay away from it. Too much money. Prices on some items are getting way silly

I like nostalgia as much as the next guy, but what these guys are paying for obsolete speed parts is crazy! Then there is the cost for a built flathead (or any earlier engine). You can spend a fortune to go really slow. For me, no thanks!

Bought one last year with carbs and all for $150. Sits on the shelf with the rest of the stuff. Looking to build more shelves.

Just checked on it & the price is down to $400. I still havent called them.

Now it's making sense. Wait a minute, I have no sense! I used to own a top fuel car among other items.

I have a freshly built Y Block for my 26 RPU and if there is one thing Y Blocks are, it isn't slow.

Having owned a dozen or more Y-blocks I must agree. It gives me great pleasure to shut down a SBC. Dont own one now but this tri power is off the first one I had. It is still out there & I havent called yet.
