Good info for rebuilding 272

I have a running 272 that will go in my 56... I'm looking for a good book or internet source so I can do the rebuild myself... Just looking to freshen the rings and bearings...

Thanks
JB

James Eichmans-Ford Y-Block is the bible for the Y guys. I belive J Murmmets Y block site will give you some info also. Or Join Y Blocks forever and they will help you out.

Just be aware of some "mistakes" in that book... for instance one being the timing chain. It show aligning the pins on the wrong side of the block (page 72)...

Good luck with your rebuild??

hopefully you do not get a copy, like I did.
It's a bid hard to read and picture's are very dark.
