Mystery Y-Block
So, I started putting together my new 292 short block, and I started finding a bunch of holes that are not present on my original block ('64 292 out of F-100). There appears to be more drain plugs, there is a spot on the driverside front that looks like it is for a part with a 2-bolt flange, and it looks like it has a spot for motor mounts on each side??? I can't remeber the number on the block but it started with something like EDB0-something...
The new pistons say .030 on the tops. So far, heads, t-cover, etc have all bolted on with no surprises.
Anyone have any ideas? Looks like I have to come up with some extra parts!

Do you know where I can find a plug for the un-threaded hole at the very bottom front-passenger side of the block? I discovered that last night too.

OK that must be where the car dipstick goes. An auto machine shop should have a plug. Small version of freeze plug. I had a hard time getting mine installed. Finally had it in there cockeyed so it wasnt going anywhere but would still allow very large oil leak if left in that state. Ended up filling the hole flush to outside of block with RTV.
