Y-Block help.
I need to give new lifters to the guy rebuilding my 292. It is .040 over.
Are these the correct lifter to buy?

Re: Y-block hotrod headers
Love those headers. Anyone know where I can get headers that will work in a 55 Customline? Rebuilt 292 going in. I've heard about Red's, but opinions vary. Thanks for any help.

Re: Inspection Cover on 55 Customline.
Thanks so much for the info. If you have one, that would be even better. Anything else you want to get rid of I may be able to use on my 55 Customline ?
