Y block advise needed

I just got my first Y block. I think it is the 292... Anyway, its missing a few parts and pieces. Since I'll have to track the parts down online, I'm hoping for some help on part/cast numbers and what to look for. I'll attach some pictures to show what I'm talking about. I will be putting it in a 59 F100 4x4.

I think it has a 61-64 front motor bracket on it. I need the right one for my application.

It is is missing the water pump pulley and fan. The crank pulley has only one groove so am hoping this will indicate which pump pulley and fan I need. I have no immediate need for power steering or other luxuries but may want them down the road.

I would like to go to a 4 barrel carb. The 2 barrel intake on it has cast # B9EA-9425-B. Not sure if there is more than 1 appropriate 4 barrel manifold.


The right hand exhaust manifold is broken (C2TE-9430-A). The bolts are in a straight line. I'm pretty clear on this part just hoping to come across some rams horn. Budget may force me just to replace with the same manifold I have though.

Thats all I can think of right now. Any advice and guidance would be greatly appreciated...and any line on the parts I need!

Check out John Mummert's site. FORD Y

He is extremely knowledgeable and I suggest calling him.

One thing you'll want sooner or later is a serviceable crank damper. Made out of two parts, the heavy outer steel ring is rubber bonded to the cast part. The rubber bond is trash by now so they won't absorb vibration, may slip, or even separate. The timing marks will move. Eventually the crankshaft may crack and break. Damper Doctor and others can rebuild them.

Bought one for my Y from this guy: http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/171119313455

The '59 has a different front motor perch/bracket/brace or whatever is the right terminology. Its kinda A shaped. The brace I have is for '61-'64 and I need to swap it for one that will fit my '59 frame. You got one fer sale?

Thank you guys for your responses and the resources. Those websites will help me to piece some of it together. I will still be mostly looking for stock parts though...the new stuff is a little out of my price range right now. Just want to get it running and see what I have then maybe get into some aluminum aftermarket stuff.

Might check with bigwin56f100. His name is Kevin and he has quite a collection of Y-block parts.

I have a couple of 4 barrel intakes for Y block and a 4 blade fan, may have to dig around for a pulley.

What does the mount look like ? Does anybody know if the 60 is the same as the 59 ? I have some kind of mount that came with my 60, that I don't need.

I think it changed in '61...maybe. I don't have a picture and the best I can describe it is that is kind of A shaped looking at it from the front. The bottom where the motor mounts go are separate little legs. The pics in my first post show the '61-'64 mount that I need to get rid of.

Hey thanks for checking! I think bigwin56f100 has the bracket I need. With everybody's help I have been able to track down pretty much everything I was looking for.

Does anybody know if the ram horn manifolds work in '59 4x4 truck as far as exhaust pipe clearance?

Yes they will fit! You will like them, new exhaust pipe will drop just in front of steering box. Getting that cross-over out from in front of the engine, really cleans up the engine bay.
