Rams horn?
Has anybody put a 292 Y-block in a 51-f 2 using the rams horn exhaust manifolds. They are center outlet,will they clear the original steering gear and would they clear a side motor mount crossmember? I have parts to go the passenger car side mounts or the truck front mount. I have both passenger car clutch housing and pickup truck three speed housing. Oh and what did I do on my PC to make the letters lean like they are all of a sudden ?

We've had lots of discussions about FEs in the Bonus and Economy Builts and the problems with exhaust on the drivers side (steering box is the problem). But I've been through that fire drill. You're probably going to have to find someone who has a Y-block in theirs and get the straight dope from them.
In the mean time here's the latest discussion we had on the FEs - measurements posted might help you later:

Thanks ,vern and julies,yeah it's not very wide . I have read a lot about the FE and 302,but not much about the Y-Block accept in the trucks that came with them.That won't really help me. I have a 302 and a 460 I could use , but I have two 59, 292 Y-blocks 
I would like to put to use.Well maybe someone thats done it will come along later. JIM
