I'm debating the engine route on my truck, as I'm sure the last 5 topics I've posted have mentioned, lol.

I've tried to nail down power and torque from some upgrades on the Y-block,but I haven't been able to find any real numbers to work off of.

My 272 runs well though I need to replace the main rear seal now do to that accident a few months back. I'm trying to find out what kind of power and more importantly torque the 272 can make with a few upgrades. I'm mainly just thinking intake and exhaust, anything that requires removing the engine will require me to have to build a different one as I need to keep something in there.

So, does anyone have an ideas of what the 272 can do with a few mods?

 

Go to the Y block engine section of this site. or
Y-BlocksForever Forum
Google Y block Ford engines or any variation of the terms.
It is an expensive engine to mod to make power.

 

Yeah it dawned on me after I posted this that I was settling, going to build it how I really want once I can afford it, lol.

Thanks.
