The photos in this edition are black and white.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 Yblock V8 engine delivered far better performance and it didn't have the inherent oiling problems of the Flathead. This engine featured deep skirt block design, and its layout resembles a 'Y,' hence the Yblock 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 5356 pickups.The Ford Yblock has been largely ignored for years, but now the engine is enjoying a renaissance. With the renewed interest, many new highperformance parts are on the market. In this comprehensive rebuild and highperformance buildup guide, a stepbystep rebuild of two stock engines is provided, complete with explanatory text and captions as well as fullcolor 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 Charles 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.The last book published on YBlocks was more than 20 years ago, but there has not been an authoritative stepbystep engine rebuild and highperformance book until now. The enthusiasts have been clamoring for information and of course owners will find invaluable coverage of the new parts, machining process, and assembly techniques. If you're a Yblock enthusiast, you will have to have this book.
