I liked the Y-blocks in the cars they were made to fit just fine but they are a pita to put in other vehicles. They are some what limited in performance due to bore size limitations and the funky port arrangement but they are respectable for the era they were made in. They could take some pretty high rpm. As soon as the Ford motors got larger like the FE blocks, they kind of went by the wayside

My pop had a 1961 Ford truck for a long time and he purchased it new. Farm trucks don't get a lot of miles on them since they are used more for harvest than any other time of year. Pop set his up to haul cattle to market and he left it that way after purchasing larger dual tandem trucks for harvest. The engine finally threw a rod through the block on one of those cattle to market trips back in 2008 or so. He had a hell of a time finding another motor for it. He finally traded it off after that. It certainly wasn't a powerhouse but it did OK for a 292 size.
