Cool, does anyone have this yet? Does it discuss my little 239? We tend to be forgotten.

Joe, The book is more about rebuilding or modifying Y-Blocks as a whole, not noting individual differences between the years. It takes you through the steps and nuances of rebuilding a stock 292" that should be able to be applied to all Y-Blocks and then the building of a modified 322".

There is a nice picture of a 239" in the intro and states it is Fords first OHV engine, replacing the 239" Flathead.

I've got this book and the reprint of Ford Y-Block. The reprints pictures are black and white and very hard to see.

Both have very good info on tearing down and putting together our engines. If pushed I would choose

just because of the pictures.
