Default Re: Replace Flathead with Y-Block?

A lot of people would not agree to that statement. The 56 and 57 Fords were top winners in oval track racing and a number of them did good in 1/4 mile racing.

If treated right (as with any other engine) they were long lasting engines with plenty of torque.
