Ford Y-Block Engines (1952-1964) - How to Rebuild and Modify

As Ford cars grew in both size and weight after WWII, the need for a more powerful and robust engine than the aging Flathead was becoming apparent. The successor of the Flathead engine, the Ford Y-block V-8 engine delivered far better performance and it doesn't have the inherent oiling problems of the Flathead.

This engine featured deep skirt block design, and its layout resembles a "Y" and hence the Y-block name. Manufactured displacements of 239, 256, 272, 292, and 312 cubic inches, this stout engine grew in displacement over the years to meet demands for more power. It powered a variety of Ford trucks and cars from 1952 to 1964, including the Thunderbird, Edsel, and the famous 53-56 pickups.

In this comprehensive rebuild and high-performance build-up guide, a step-by-step rebuild of two stock engines is provided complete with explanatory text and captions as well as full-color photos.
During the rebuild process, you learn the unique features of this engine series and how to build a strong and reliable engine. In addition, author Charlie Morris profiles the building a modified supercharged 292 engine that uses the latest performance parts and technology developed specifically for this engine series.
You are shown how to machine and prep the block, refurbish the cylinder heads, and select the optimal rotating assembly for a particular horsepower level.
