I am trying to build up some resources for us yblockers, but I have a hard time with the geographical thing. If I could ask where you all reside and also live and the number of persons and people who tinker, run, or play with Yblocks I think I could present this info to some local old timers who could help us all out. I live in crabtree oregon and have a 312 and slowly rebuilding a 292.

I live in Western Washington, and I've got one of the first overhead valve Ford engines in my '52 F-7 4x4 Big Job truck. IT'S A 279 CARGO KING Y-BLOCK. The truck is an old US Government truck, still has the original paint.

Very sorry about the the kids granpaw. family is everything. Give a hug. I know of some old timers that hate to give out information, till you get them to talk. I will talk to the elders (they like that) and see what words of wisdom they will espouse. plus I like to know with whom I converse with. To all ya all.
