Here is mine 239 Y-Block. Just put it back on the frame, but now I need a new starter to see if I can get it fired up. Hopefully soon...

Here's mine!



After I have fabbed up the mounts in the frame and then painted the engine, I am going to swap out the old heads and intake for the OFFY triple duece and heads that I have for it.

Damm you gotta love this place , such a diverse variation on motors , states of tune etc etc .... BUT .. I forgot my 351 thats going in , so here goes nothing !

As I'm going for the "survivor" look ... the guys at the speed-shop have been told NOT to clean-it and have even found a used air-filter to go on .... love re-cycling !

The box at the front is a C6 which has already been bolted up for mock-up , where as the box in the background is an FMX which came off a 390 Thunderbird and was'nt going anywhere near to my 351W !
